Title: The anomalous convection over the Tibetan Plateau in spring and summer and its effect on the western PacifiC subtropical high
Abstract: The net radiation in winter and spring h as significant effect on the succeeding thermal convection and seasonal evolution of general circulation over the Tibetan Plateau. The more the net radiation in s pring over the Plateau, the earlier the reversal of the meridional temperature g radient between the Plateau and low-latitudes in early summer, resulting in the more active convection over the Plateau.Strong convection over the central Plat eau in summer leads to the strengthened subsidence in western Pacific, which is responsible for the enhancement and the westward extension of ridge point as wel l as the maintenance of western Pacific subtropical high to the south of the Yan gtze River. As a result, the anomalous heavy rainfall takes place in the low-mi d reaches of the Yangtze River.
