Abstract:
The major advances in the researches on the dynamic effect of the Tibetan Plateau on weather and climate are summarized. It is concluded: (1) The thermal and dynamic effects of the plateau have seasonal differences. Dynamic effects are stronger in winter and spring. (2) The dynamic effects are embodied mainly in the aspect of the flow around the plateau, especially in bypassing and climbing induced by the plateau in winter and spring, but there is only bypassing effect in summer. (3) The plateau has important influence on weather systems such as cold wave, southwest vortex, and tropical cyclone. (4) Through blocking the climate system and drawing the monsoon, the plateau makes Northwest China dry and South China humid.
