Regional climate response to global warming in the source region of the Yellow River and its impact on runoff - EurekAlert
Under the warming climate, significant changes in climate and runoff have occurred in the source region of the Yellow River. Particularly after the early 21st century, the mode of precipitation in the source region has changed with the increase in precipitation. The warming and altered spatial patterns of precipitation have led to an increase in evapotranspiration over the whole region. These might have led to the persistent low runoff, even after the early 21st century when the precipitation amounts increased. These changes present challenges for water resource management. This finding was recently reported in Science China: Earth Sciences.
