     abstract = "{Analogous to flow regime, this study proposed a new statistical
        framework to assess inter-annual and intra-annual terrestrial
        water storage (TWS) regime and its changes from the aspects of
        magnitude, variability, duration and components. The framework
        was applied to two endorheic basins, Inner Basin (IB) and Qaidam
        Basin (QB), in the Tibetan Plateau and their eight sub-regions.
        Our major findings are as follows: (1) TWS in the IB
        (2.09{\textendash}2.35 mm/a, P < 0.05) and QB
        (0.05{\textendash}0.52 mm/a, P > 0.1) increased in all seasons
        from 1989 to 2019 with regional climate warming and wetting. TWS
        showed high increase rates (>4.50 mm/a, P < 0.05) in
        northeastern IB but decrease rates (<‑0.90 mm/a) in southern IB.
        Seasonal total storage in groundwater, lake, permafrost and
        glacier (GLPIA) also increased in both the IB
        (2.55{\textendash}2.68 mm/a, P < 0.05) and QB
        (0.05{\textendash}0.43 mm/a). Seasonal soil water storage (SWA)
        decreased in the IB (‑0.39 to ‑0.26 mm/a) and slightly increased
        in the QB (0.002{\textendash}0.08 mm/a); (2) Intra-annual TWS
        followed approximately a cosine curve. After mutation, monthly
        TWS showed a higher positive magnitude change (>50 mm),
        accompanied by a longer duration and higher variability in the
        IB and its northeastern sub-regions. There was a large reduction
        in low storage (‑18.25 mm) combined with higher variability in
        southeastern IB; (3) SWA change dominated the storage surplus in
        summer (82\%) and storage deficit in autumn (‑78\%) and winter
        (‑51\%) in the IB, while GLPIA change dominated the storage
        surplus in spring (57\%). In the QB, TWS change was mainly
        contributed by SWA change in spring (94\%) and by GLPIA change
        in summer (73\%), autumn (‑62\%) and winter (‑58\%). Component
        contribution rates showed a significant change in spring and
        winter but not much change in summer and autumn, indicating that
        the TWS components were more sensitive to climate change in the
        cold season.}",
