- Abstract
This article discusses spatial temporal climatic changes which could lead to the drying up phenomenon of the Yellow River in China. The authors used data from satellites and meteorological stations to measure the temperature, precipitation changes, and vegetation condition in the past few decades. They concluded that the temperature increased and precipitation decreased in most parts of the Yellow River basin. The evaporative demand of the atmosphere increases only in the lower reaches of the river. The vegetation condition in the irrigation districts apparently has been improved by human activities.
