abstract = "{The Tibetan Plateau (TP) has been observed by satellite optical remote
sensing, altimetry, and gravimetry for a variety of geophysical
parameters, including water storage change. However, each of
these sensors has its respective limitation in the parameters
observed, accuracy and spatial-temporal resolution. Here, we
utilized an integrated approach to combine remote sensing
imagery, digital elevation model, and satellite radar and laser
altimetry data, to quantify freshwater storage change in a twin
lake system named Chibuzhang Co and Dorsoidong Co in the central
TP, and compared that with independent observations including
mass changes from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment
(GRACE) data. Our results show that this twin lake, located
within the Tanggula glacier system, remained almost steady
during 1973-2000. However, Dorsoidong Co has experienced a
significant lake level rise since 2000, especially during
2000-2005, that resulted in the plausible connection between the
two lakes. The contemporary increasing lake level signal at a
rate of 0.89 {\ensuremath{\pm}} 0.05
cm{\textperiodcentered}yr$^{-1}$, in a 2{\textdegree} by
2{\textdegree} grid equivalent water height since 2002, is
higher than the GRACE observed trend at 0.41 {\ensuremath{\pm}}
0.17 cm{\textperiodcentered}yr$^{-1}$ during the same time span.
Finally, a down-turning trend or inter-annual variability shown
in the GRACE signal is observed after 2012, while the lake level
is still rising at a consistent rate.}",
