The fluctuation characteristics of typical lakes in arid areas by Shaotian Li, Xinguo Li, Changjiang Liu

“…New hydrological insights for the region: The study examined the relationship between typical Xinjiang lakes and meteorological elements using wavelet coherence analysis and cross wavelet transform. The findings indicate that: 1) Among the three lakes, Ulungur Lake's area variation is most directly influenced by its average air temperature, evaporation, and precipitation. 2) In the semi-arid region, temperature significantly impacts the fluctuations of Bosten and Ulungur Lakes. …”
