Complex principal component analysis of mass balance changes on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Climatic time series for Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau locations are rare. Although glacier shrinkage is well described, the relationship between mass balance and climatic variation is less clear. We studied the effect of climate changes on mass balance by analyzing the complex principal components of...
