What important influence does the existence of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau have on the climate in China?

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the highest mountain in China. It is the birthplace of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in China, and it has nurtured the whole Chinese civilization. It can be said that generations of people in China grew up drinking its milk. Moreover, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is also the regulator and initiator of climate change in the northern hemisphere, which directly controls the climate change in the east and southwest of China and even has an impact on the global climate. It is advanced, sensitive and supervised, and it is a great wealth of China.

The Great Barrier of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau itself is like a wall, blocking the passage of wind from the west. Its existence prevents the ocean wind from entering the inland of Asian countries, resulting in dry climate in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia. In winter, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau blocked the entry of Siberian cold air, which made India in the south unable to escape the attack of cold air, and the cold air forced to go south on the east side of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. As a result, the cold wave hit the south of eastern China.

The role of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in promoting airflow climbing

When the air stream meets the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it will be forced to cross the plateau, so the windward side of the air stream will strengthen the anti-vorticity, and the back side of the air stream will be beneficial to the cyclonic vortex. To put it simply, there is a beautiful girl who is an anticyclone. When she climbs hard along the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, she will find that her climbing ability is gradually increasing, but if she climbs by cyclone, she will find that she is gradually weakening. On the contrary, if she is going downhill, the anticyclone will weaken and the cyclone will increase.

The role of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in promoting air distribution

If the westerly wind from the northern hemisphere meets the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it will be divided into two branches, the north and the south. The south tributary will form a trough of low pressure, while the north tributary will form a ridge of high pressure. The dynamic and thermal effects of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will strengthen the East Asia and South Asia monsoon, which has an important impact on the climate in arid areas of the same latitude in China. Of course, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau itself has a unique plateau climate.
