An Investigation of the Summer Lows over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

1986
Low pressure areas over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau on the 500 hPa level in the summer half year are found to be one of the major systems producing rainfall there[1]. In our investigation, 11 similar cases of occurrence of these lows are sorted out from the observations made during the first QXPMEX.

Representing permafrost properties in CoLM for the Qinghai–Xizang (Tibetan) Plateau

Cold Regions Science and Technology, 2013
Abstract Most land surface models (LSMs) used in climate models do not perform well in modeling the permafrost processes. Due to the complex permafrost distribution characteristics and landscapes of the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP), the LSMs simulations over QTP are even worse.

The Triassic and Jurassic paleogeography and evolution of the Qinghai–Xizang (Tibet) Plateau

Canadian Journal of Earth Sciences, 1985
The Kunlun, Qilian, and Qinling mountains already existed in embryonic form as coastal ranges in Triassic times. Marine conditions predominated to the south. The southern coastline is demarcated by the northern margin of the Tertiary Siwalik sediments. The paleo-landmass of Longmenshan–Sichuan–Yunnan separated this sea from that of southwest China. By

The development suitability analysis for the Qinghai-Xizang-Plateau: Condition, quality, and risk

Journal of Environmental Management
The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau (QXP) is a globally unique ecological barrier and a vast repository of natural resources. However, its harsh ecological environment presents a critical challenge in balancing environmental protection with sustainable resource development and economic growth.

Bubble emissions from thermokarst lakes in the Qinghai–Xizang Plateau

Quaternary International, 2014
It is important to understand the role of Qinghai-Xizang Plateau thermokarst lakes in the global atmospheric methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) budget. This study investigated the gas components and isotopic characteristics of bubble gas collected from six thermokarst lakes.

Some Aspects of Recent Research on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau Meteorology

Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1981
Abstract The Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau has a profound influence on atmospheric circulation patterns on all time and space scales. This report constitutes a short summary of work being performed at the Lanzhou Institute of Plateau Atmospheric Physics of the Academia Sinica.

Offline experiment of land surface processes in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

Science in China Series D: Earth Sciences, 2004
The observational data of Beiluhe test of the Qinghai-Xizang railway in June 2002 are used as forcing field of the surface model to study the simulation performance in Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. The simulation result shows that the model (NCAR/LSM) can present the surface character tendency reasonably under observation forcing.

The characteristics of the seismic activity in the Qinghai-Xizang (Tibet) Plateau of China

Tectonophysics, 1987
Abstract Based on the analysis of the spatial distribution of many shallow- and intermediate-depth earthquakes in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and its marginal region, their fault plane solutions and the seismo-tectonics in the continental plate, this paper studies the characteristics of this plateau and the transitional zone of collision and ...

Model Calculation of Radiative Properties in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau Atmosphere

1987
Examining the surface radiation data observed during May–August 1979, a parameterized radiation transfer model developed at the University of Utah, U.S.A. has been used to compute the atmospheric radiative properties for four stations over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and one station in the plain area representing different climate. The results show that

Variation of d δ18O/dT in precipitation in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau

Chinese Geographical Science, 1997
The relations between δ18O and temperature on the different time scales were analysed, according to the data from Tuotuohe (34°13′N, 96°25′E; 4533 m a. s. l.), Delingha (37°22′N, 97°22′E; 2981 m a. s. l.) and Xining (36°37′N, 101°46′E; 2261 m a. s. l.) in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
