Abstract:
Due to the special and powerful dynamic and thermal effects of Tibet Plateau,the East Asian monsoon,Indian monsoon and Tibet Plateau monsoon interact with each other over Tibetan Plateau.Under the influence of multi-monsoon interactions,the water cycle of Tibetan Plateau influenced by the Tibet Plateau vortex is extremely complex.The abnormal water cycle of Tibet Plateau will cause frequent occurrence of catastrophic weather processes over Tibet Plateau and surrounding areas and even in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River,so it has been a hot issue of concern for atmospheric science at home and abroad.We systematically review the research progress on the activity characteristics,structural characteristics,generation and development mechanisms of Tibet Plateau vortex.And the research results on how the Tibet Plateau vortex affects the water cycle are outlined from the perspectives of water vapor transport,precipitation and cloud-precipitation physics.In particular,the impact of the multi-monsoon interaction on the water cycle of Tibetan Plateau is analyzed based on the summary of interaction between East Asian monsoon,Indian monsoon and Tibetan Plateau monsoon.Finally,the shortcomings of the current study are pointed out,and the future research directions are prospected.
