A Potential Vorticity Budget View of the Atmospheric Circulation Climatology over the Tibetan Plateau
Date:
- This study, based on the PV budget, shows the dynamics that shape the climatological circulation over the TP
- Overshooting in the summer and gravity wave drag in the winter play key roles
- The diurnal cycle shapes the near-surface cyclonic circulation in summer by regulating the vertical structure of diabatic heating
