Based on the glacier area variation records in the typical regions of China monitored by remote sensing, as well as the meteorological data of air temperature and precipitation from 139 stations and the 0°C isotherm height from 28 stations
, the glacier area shrinkage in China and its climatic background in the past half century was discussed. The area-weighted shrinking rate of glacier and the interpolated annual percentage of area changes (APAC) of glacier were calculated since 1960. The retreat

According to the meteorological observation data of 72 stations from 1960 to 2010 in the Huanghe (Yellow) River Watershed, China, the long-term variations of potential evapotranspiration, calculated in the modified Penman-Monteith model were
