Snowpack Radiative Heating: Influence on Tibetan Plateau Climate
Solar absorption decays exponentially with depth in snowpacks. However, most climate models constrain all snowpack absorption to occur uniformly in the top-most snow layer. We show that 20–45% of solar absorption by deep snowpacks occurs more than 2 cm beneath the surface. Accounting for vertically-resolved solar heating alters steady-state snow mass without changing bulk snow albedo, and ice-a...
متن کاملPrecipitation impacts on vegetation spring phenology on the Tibetan Plateau.
The ongoing changes in vegetation spring phenology in temperate/cold regions are widely attributed to temperature. However, in arid/semiarid ecosystems, the correlation between spring temperature and phenology is much less clear. We test the hypothesis that precipitation plays an important role in the temperature dependency of phenology in arid/semiarid regions. We therefore investigated the in...
متن کاملInfluence of mantle dynamics on the topographic evolution of the Tibetan Plateau: Results from numerical modeling
[1] We investigate numerically the evolution of crustal and lithospheric thickness, thermal structure, topography, and strain rate of the Tibetan Plateau through time, using the thin viscous sheet approach. We show that lithospheric mantle must have been removed from beneath Tibet to explain the present surface elevation and lack of regional surface slope. In the absence of this removal, the mo...

متن کاملIce-core evidence of westerly and monsoon moisture contributions in the central Tibetan Plateau
Stable isotopes are a primary tool for inferring past temperature changes and atmospheric moisture variability from ice cores. A 33m ice core representing the period 1850–2004 was retrieved from the Tanggula Mountains, central Tibetan Plateau (5743ma.s.l.), in August 2005. Annual average stable isotope (dO, dD) values generally increase during the period, while the second-order parameter of deu...
