Abstract:

Abstract.The amount of water storage change in Tangnaihai basin is obtained by using monthly gravity field data, which is derived from GRACE satellite between 2003 and 2008, with Gaussian filter. Combined with the same time period monthly precipitation data of the regional meteorological stations, we analysis spatial-temporal variation trend of water storge change in Tangnaihai basin for nearly 6 years. Results show that the spatial distribution of water storge change in Tangnaihai basin has obvious difference,water storge change is more in west than in east area.Water storge change has obviously seasonal variation change, and it has the same process with precipitation.The trend of water storge change increase in annual in study area. Water storge change increased from 2003 to 2008 in totally in Tangnaihai basin.The average rate is 0.5 mm/month,and water storge change reduced about 6.1*106 m3.
