Short summary
Reliable quantification of the amount and variability of evapotranspiration (ET) on the Tibetan Plateau is important for understanding the regional water cycle and resources. This study compares 22 ET products and finds that the mean annual ET over the Tibetan Plateau is 333.1 mm yr-1, and most products show an increasing trend. It also finds that soil evaporation is the largest contributor to total ET and that contributions from open-water evaporation and snow/ice sublimation cannot be ignored.
