Abstract  

It is of great practical significance for the local sustainable agricultural water resources planning and to understand the plateau climate change to study the characteristics of the spatiotemporal changes of evapotranspiration in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Based on the GLASS land surface latent heat flux product to analyze the characteristics of the spatiotemporal changes of evapotranspiration and its relationship with temperature, precipitation, and vegetation in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from 2001 to 2018, with the Mann-Kendall trend analysis method, in consideration of China's ecogeographical divisions. The results showed that: ①GLASS ET can reasonably simulate the distribution characteristics of evapotranspiration over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. ②The multi-year annual average evapotranspiration in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is 296.52mm, with higher values in the southeast but lower values in the northwest, the southern wing of the Eastern Himalayas is the highest (690.94 mm) and the Qaidam Basin is the lowest (163.47 mm). ③The inter-annual variation of evapotranspiration in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau has increased volatility, and only the southern flank of the Eastern Himalayas has been declining in the past 18 years. ④During the study period, the evapotranspiration of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau with a substantial increase trend, accounting for 47.44%, mainly located at the eastern edge of the plateau and the Midwestern hinterland; with a significant decreasing trend accounted for 3.82%, mainly concentrated in the southern wing of the Eastern Himalayas. ⑤The spatial distribution of evapotranspiration is negatively correlated with temperature in arid areas, and positively correlated with humid areas; it is generally positively correlated with the spatial pattern of precipitation. ⑥Evapotranspiration has a good positive correlation with the spatial distribution of NDVI; The correlation with the change trend of NDVI is more complicated, mostly positively correlated, and a small part are negatively correlated.
