  abstract = {{L}akes and reservoirs have been identified as sentinels of climate change. {T}onle {S}ap is the largest lake in both the {M}ekong {B}asin and {S}outheast {A}sia and because of the importance of its ecosystem, it is has been described as the "heart of the lower {M}ekong". {I}ts seasonal cycle depends on the annual flood pulse governed by the flow of the {M}ekong {R}iver. {T}his study provides an impact analysis of recent climatic events from {E}l {N}ino 1997/1998 to {E}l {N}ino 2015/2016 on surface storage variations in the {T}onle {S}ap watershed determined by combining remotely sensed observations, multispectral images and radar altimetry from 1993 to 2017. {T}he {L}ake's surface water volume variations are highly correlated with rainy season rainfall in the whole {M}ekong {R}iver {B}asin ({R} = 0.84) at interannual time-scale. {E}xtreme droughts and floods can be observed when precipitation deficit and excess is recorded in both the {T}onle {S}ap watershed and the {M}ekong {R}iver {B}asin during moderate to very strong {E}l {N}ino/{L}a {N}ina events ({R} = -0.70) enhanced by the {P}acific {D}ecadal {O}scillation ({R} = -0.68). {I}ndian and {W}estern {N}orth {P}acific {M}onsoons were identified as having almost equal influence. {B}elow normal vegetation activity was observed during the first semester of 2016 due to the extreme drought in 2015.},
