Abstract

This study analyzed the combined effects of climate change and land use changes in the Yellow River Basin over the last 45 years. Based on the China Land-use Data for Hundred Years dataset (CLDH), East Asia daily precipitation data, and 6-h NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data, the Coupled Land Surface and Hydrology Model System (CLHMS) was applied to simulate the water cycle processes in the Yellow River under changing conditions from 1962 to 2006. During the study period, the evaporation, infiltration, and surface runoff in the Yellow River Basin all showed a decreasing trend. Comparative tests indicated that climate change was a major factor impacting water cycle variations.

Keyphrases: climate change, coupled land surface hydrology model, land use change, water cycle simulation, yellow river basin
