Evaluation of the trend uncertainty in summer ozone valley over the Tibetan Plateau in three reanalysis datasets
Trend uncertainty in the ozone valley over the Tibetan Plateau (OVTP) and the South Asian high (SAH) during 1979–2009 in ERA-Interim (interim reanalysis data from the ECMWF), JRA-55 (55-yr reanalysis data from...

Open AccessSkewness of cloud droplet spectrum and an improved estimation for its relative dispersion
The relative dispersion of the cloud droplet spectrum is a very important parameter in describing and modeling cloud microphysical processes. Based on the definition of skewness as well as theoretical and data...

A method for solving relative dispersion of the cloud droplet spectra
The relative dispersion of the cloud droplet spectra or the shape parameter is usually assumed to be a constant in the two-parameter cloud microphysical scheme, or is derived through statistical analysis. Howe...

Impacts of thermodynamic processes over the Tibetan Plateau on the Northern Hemispheric climate
We here report our recent research results on the climatic features of Tibetan thermodynamic functions and their impacts on the regional climates of the Northern Hemisphere. The results show that the thermodyn...

Analysis of the influence of Taihu Lake and the urban heat islands on the local circulation in the Yangtze Delta
A fine-mesh regional meteorological model that suits the Yangtze Delta region was developed. This model was used to simulate some micro weathers, such as the land and sea breezes, land and lake breezes and urb...

Mechanism of Formation of the Ozone Valley over the Tibetan Plateau in Summer— Transport and Chemical Process of Ozone
With the 3D chemical transport model OSLO CTM2, the valley of total column ozone over the Tibetan Plateau in summer is reproduced. The results show that when the ozone valley occurs and develops, the transport...

Prediction of the trend of total column ozone over the Tibetan Plateau
By using 2-D chemical model, the trend of total column ozone over the Tibetan Plateau is simulated. The results show that from 1980 to 1993, the total column ozone over the Tibetan Plateau decreases; after 199...

Spatio-temporal characteristics of aerosol distribution over Tibetan Plateau and numerical simulation of radiative forcing and climate response
In this paper we have analyzed aerosol distribution over the Tibetan Plateau by using the global monthly mean satellite data of Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II (SAGE II). The results are as follows...

The atmospheric heat budget in summer over Asia monsoon area
For better understanding the mechanism of monsoon formation and designing the numerical simulation of the general atmospheric circulation, a new approach of calculating atmospheric radiation is proposed to inv...
