Actual evapotranspiration (ET a ) is important since it is an important link to water, energy, and carbon cycles. Approximately 96% of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is underlain by frozen ground, however, the ground observations of ET a are particularly sparse–which is especially true in the perma...
