A comprehensive water bodies dataset of high-mountain Asia

Scientific Data
High-Mountain Asia (HMA) hosts numerous water bodies that are highly sensitive to climate change. However, many of them, especially small ones, remain understudied due to the region’s complex terrain and extreme environmental conditions.

Spatial and temporal variation of daytime and nighttime MODIS land surface temperature across Nepal

Atmospheric and Oceanic Science Letters, 2019
Land surface temperature (LST) is an important variable for assessing climate change and related environmental impacts observed in recent decades. Regular monitoring of LST using satellite sensors such as MODIS has the advantage of global coverage ...

Two Contrasting Exhumation Scenarios of Deeply Subducted Continental Crust in North Pakistan

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
In Western Himalayan Syntaxis, the India‐Asia continental collision occurred at ca. 50 Ma, while its uplift history and exhumation mechanism are still in dispute despite decades of studies. A new type of eclogite was found in Naran, located ca.

Interaction of the westerlies with the Tibetan Plateau in determining the Mei-Yu termination [PDF]

, 2020
This study explores how the termination of the mei-yu is dynamically linked to the westerlies impinging on the Tibetan Plateau. It is found that the mei-yu stage terminates when the maximum upper-tropospheric westerlies shift beyond the northern edge of ...

Diversity Patterns of Domestic Herbivore Viruses in China Reveal Transmission Dynamics with Disease Management Implications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study performs pan‐viromic profiling of 14,529 samples from 5,710 domestic herbivores across five Chinese provinces, establishing the DhCN‐Virome (1,085,360 viral metagenomes). It reveals species/sample‐specific viromic signatures and cross‐species transmission dynamics, aiding unified disease control.

Mountain Torque Events at the Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Monthly Weather Review, 2008
AbstractThe interaction of large-scale wave systems with the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is investigated by regressing pressure, potential temperature, winds, precipitation, and selected fluxes in winter onto the three components Toi of this massif’s mountain torque on the basis of the 40-yr ECMWF reanalysis (ERA-40) data.

Amplification of Warming on the Tibetan Plateau

Advances in Climate Change Research, 2023
The accelerated warming over the Tibetan Plateau relative to global means has attracted considerable attention from the scientific community. Nevertheless, the timescale, seasonality and dominant causes of the Tibetan warming amplification have not been discussed.

Future global annual frozen ground distribution datasets based on Frost Number Model with Kappa coefficient

Scientific Data
Permafrost, which underlies roughly one-fifth of global land area, is highly vulnerable to ongoing climate warming and its degradation has important implications for hydrological processes, carbon cycling, ecosystems, and infrastructure stability.
