Qinghai-Tibet Plateau climate study
Print Edition
A Chinese institute has launched a dataset for hourly observations of integrated land-atmosphere interaction on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the largest high-elevation part of the cryosphere outside the polar regions, with vast areas of mountain glaciers, permafrost and seasonally frozen ground, which are sensitive to global climate change.
The plateau plays a critical role in influencing regional and global climate, via both thermal and dynamic mechanisms, according to a recent research article published in the journal Earth System Science Data.
Researchers from the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research under the Chinese Academy of Sciences said they hope to quantify atmospheric conditions and local land-atmosphere interactions over the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, as well as its effects on surrounding regions.
The researchers recorded multilayer soil temperature and moisture to capture vertical hydrothermal variations and the soil freeze-thaw process, and captured the high-frequency vertical exchanges of energy, momentum, water vapor and carbon dioxide within the atmospheric boundary layer.
