Does the climate warming hiatus exist over the Tibetan Plateau?
The surface air temperature change over the Tibetan Plateau is determined based on historical observations from 1980 to 2013. In contrast to the cooling trend in the rest of China, and the global warming hiatus post-1990s, an accelerated warming trend has appeared over the Tibetan Plateau during 1998-2013 (0.25 °C decade(-1)), compared with that during 1980-1997 (0.21 °C decade(-1)). Further re...
متن کاملWarming in the Tibetan Plateau: Possible influences of the changes in surface water vapor
[1] The Tibetan Plateau has warmed most rapidly during the winter months in the latter half of the 20th century. Changes in surface specific humidity and their effect on changes in downward longwave radiation (DLR) at the surface are examined to evaluate the pattern of seasonal warming at different elevations over the plateau between 1961 and 2000. We use observed seasonal changes in specific h...
متن کاملHydrological Response of Alpine Wetlands to Climate Warming in the Eastern Tibetan Plateau
Alpine wetlands in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) play a crucial role in the regional hydrological cycle due to their strong influence on surface ecohydrological processes; therefore, understanding how TP wetlands respond to climate change is essential for projecting their future condition and potential vulnerability. We investigated the hydrological responses of a large TP wetland complex to recent ...
متن کاملClimatic Warming in the Tibetan Plateau during Recent Decades
Adequate knowledge of climatic change over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) with an average elevation of more than 4000 m above sea level (a.s.l.) has been insufficient for a long time owing to the lack of sufficient observational data. In the present study, monthly surface air temperature data were collected from almost every meteorological station on the TP since their establishment. There are 97 sta...
متن کاملResponses of alpine grassland on Qinghai–Tibetan plateau to climate warming and permafrost degradation: a modeling perspective
Permafrost plays a critical role in soil hydrology. Thus, the degradation of permafrost under warming climate conditions may affect the alpine grassland ecosystem on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. Previous space-for-time studies using plot and basin scales have reached contradictory conclusions. In this study, we applied a process-based ecosystem model (DOS-TEM) with a state-of-the-art permafrost...
