“…The basic core of our study is to understand how the large-scale Asian topographies such as the Himalayan Mountains, the Tibetan Plateau, and the Iranian Plateau impact monsoon onshore flow, redistribute the high-enthalpy monsoon air, and redirect the rainfall distribution. Along the way, we evaluate the three main hypotheses whether topographic thermal forcings He et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2007; or the insulation mechanism (Biasutti et al, 2018;Boos, 2015;Boos & Hurley, 2013;Ma et al, 2014), or mechanical and orographic forcing are necessary or sufficient conditions for generating a modern-like IAM. the models' biases and brings the regional circulation in better agreement with observations is necessary for understanding monsoon-topography interaction (Acosta & Huber, 2017;Johnson et al, 2015;Meehl et al, 2006;Roe et al, 2016;Shields et al, 2016).…”
