Table 1 Six representative spatial characteristics of atmospheric moisture transport around the TP throughout the year
From: Evaluation of atmospheric moisture transport to the Tibetan Plateau from 33 CMIP6 models
# | Period | Characteristics description |
|---|---|---|
1 | Oct-Apr | Atmospheric moisture carried by the southern branch increased by 86.6% when arriving at Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon |
2 | Jun | The directional angles of atmospheric moisture transport toward Yarlung Tsangpo Grand Canyon increased to nearly 60 degrees |
3 | A slight cyclone formed near 85-90oE | |
4 | Jul | The southeastern flow expands to around 80oE |
5 | Aug | The southeastern flow expands further to around 78oE |
6 | Sep | The southeastern flow retreats to east of 80oE |
