Focusing on lake underwater terrain unknown and dynamic storage that is difficult to obtain by the traditional methods, a new method is proposed for lake dynamic storage estimation by multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing without underwater terrain data. The details are as follows. Firstly, extraction dynamic lake boundary through steps by steps adaptive iteration water body detection algorithm from multi-temporal remote sensing imagery. And then, retrieve water level information from ICESat GLAS laser point data. Thirdly, comprehensive utilizing lake area and elevation data, the lake boundary is converted to contour of water by the water level is assigned to the lake boundary line, according to the time and water level information. Fourthly, through the contour line construction TIN (triangulated irregular network) model and Kriging interpolation, it is gotten that the simulated three-dimensional lake digital elevation model. Finally, on the basis of simulated DEM, it is calculated that the dynamic lake volume, lake area distribution and water level information. The Bosten lake is selected as a case studying to verify the algorithm. The area and dynamic water storage variations of Bosten lake are detected since 2000. The results show that, the maximum error is 2.21× 108 m3, the minimum error is 0.00002× 108 m3, the average error is 0.044×108 m3, the root mean square is 0.59 and the correlation coefficient reached 0.99.
