However, mass balance records of TP glaciers have remained scarce due to challenging mountainous terrain and harsh weather conditions, which limits our understanding of the influence of melting glaciers on local water resources and responses to climate change. Here, we present and assess an albedo-based method to derive annual mass balance for three glaciers in the interior TP from Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) albedo data during 2000\u20132016. A strong linear correlation (R2 = 0.941, P &lt; 0.001) is found between annual minimum-averaged glacier-wide albedo (AMGA) values and annual mass balance measurements on the Xiao Dongkemadi glacier. Furthermore, the 17-year-long annual mass balance series of the Xiao Dongkemadi glacier and the Geladandong mountain region glaciers, and the Purogangri ice cap are reconstructed for the first time, with a mass loss rate of 535 \u00b1 63 mm w.e.a\u22121, 243 \u00b1 66 mm w.e.a\u22121 and 113 \u00b1 68 mm w.e.a\u22121, respectively. The results are verified by geodetic estimates, with relative error ranging from 4.55% to 11.80%, confirming that the albedo-based method can be used to estimate specific mass budgets for interior TP glaciers. A strong correlation between the mass balance series and air temperature infers that increasing summer air temperature may be one of main reasons for glacier shrinkage of the three studied glaciers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10071031","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,2]],"date-time":"2018-07-02T10:56:52Z","timestamp":1530529012000},"page":"1031","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Annual Glacier-Wide Mass Balance (2000\u20132016) of the Interior Tibetan Plateau Reconstructed from MODIS Albedo Products"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7400-8556","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhimin","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geodesy and Earth\u2019s Dynamics, Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 340 XuDong Rd, Wuhan 430077, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, 19A Yuquan Rd., Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Liming","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geodesy and Earth\u2019s Dynamics, Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 340 XuDong Rd, Wuhan 430077, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, 19A Yuquan Rd., Beijing 100049, China"}]},{"given":"Lin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geodesy and Earth\u2019s Dynamics, Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 340 XuDong Rd, Wuhan 430077, China"},{"name":"School of Physics, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, 1037 LuoYu Rd., Wuhan 430074, China"}]},{"given":"Yafei","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Surveying and Urban Spatial Information, Henan University of Urban Construction, LongXiang Rd., Pingdingshan 467036, China"}]},{"given":"Hansheng","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Geodesy and Earth\u2019s Dynamics, Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, 340 XuDong Rd, Wuhan 430077, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,6,30]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"859","DOI":"10.1007\/s00382-009-0564-1","article-title":"Using a global climate model to evaluate the influences of water vapor, snow cover and atmospheric aerosol on warming in the tibetan plateau during the twenty-first century","volume":"34","author":"Rangwala","year":"2009","journal-title":"Clim.
