High-altitude Climate Zones and Climate Types
نویسنده
چکیده
This chapter gives a brief analysis of basic factors influencing highland climates and peculiarities of atmospheric circulation caused by mountain systems. Special attention is paid to characteristics of highland climate which are manifested in regimes of temperature, precipitation, wind, solar radiation, etc. Typical and exclusive features of highland climates in different large-scale climatic zones are considered.

Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of Global Warming in the Tibetan Plateau during the Last 50 Years Based on a Generalised Temperature Zone - Elevation Model
Temperature is one of the primary factors influencing the climate and ecosystem, and examining its change and fluctuation could elucidate the formation of novel climate patterns and trends. In this study, we constructed a generalised temperature zone elevation model (GTEM) to assess the trends of climate change and temporal-spatial differences in the Tibetan Plateau (TP) using the annual and mo...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Various factors influence the karstification process in the dissolution of carbonate rocks. Karst is common influence result of internal morphodynamics (geological structure and lithology) and external morphodynamics (climate, altitude, vegetation, and time). They affect the karstification of the demise of carbonate rocks. Karst is the result of numerous meth...

Among the important challenges facing water resources of the country, one can mention the phenomenon of climate change and its impacts. The General Circulation Models (GCMs) can provide the best information about the response to increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases. Since the outputs of this model do not have sufficient time and space accuracy for studies on the effects of climate c...

Climate changes and remained geomorphic evidences due to the changes has been interested by geomorphologists in the world. Different researches have shown that world climate has been changed successively in Pleistocene so that with decreasing in temperature and probably increasing in precipitation, glaciers has been progressed and with increasing in temperature and decreasing in precipitation, ...
