Remote sensing, with the advantages of large-scale observations, has been widely applied to monitor turbidity change in lakes and rivers; however, few studies have focused on turbidity change of rivers on the Tibetan Plateau. We investigated the pattern of turbidity change in the middle reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, southern Tibetan Plateau, based on multispectral satellite imagery and in situ measurements. We developed empirical models from in situ measured water leaving reflectance and turbidity, and applied the best performed s-curve models on satellite imagery from Sentinel-2, Landsat 8, and Landsat 5 to derive turbidity change in 2007\u20132017. Our results revealed an overall decreasing spatial trend from the upper to lower streams. Seasonal variations were observed with high turbidity from July to September and low turbidity from October to May. Annual turbidity showed a temporally slightly declining trend from 2007 to 2017. The pattern of turbidity change is affected by the confluence of tributaries and the changes in precipitation and vegetation along the river. These findings provide important insights into the responses of riverine turbidity to climate and environmental changes on the Tibetan Plateau.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13020182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,10]],"date-time":"2021-01-10T23:03:42Z","timestamp":1610319822000},"page":"182","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Pattern of Turbidity Change in the Middle Reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River, Southern Tibetan Plateau, from 2007 to 2017"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ming","family":"Shen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA"}]},{"given":"Siyuan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Urban and Regional Ecology, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100085, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3722-8960","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yingkui","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA"}]},{"given":"Maofeng","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN 37996, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0551-920X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuanxu","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Digital Earth Science, Aerospace Information Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100094, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"380","article-title":"Geomorphological and environmental evolution in the upper reaches of the Yellow River during the late Cenozoic","volume":"39","author":"Li","year":"1996","journal-title":"Sci.
