Abstract:The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is one of the most climate sensitive regions around the world. Aerosols imported from adjacent regions reach its peak during the pre-monsoon season and play a vital role in the TP environment. However, the strong interannual variation in aerosols transported to the TP has not been fully understood. Here, we show that the interannual variability of pre-monsoon aerosols transported to the TP is influenced more by rainfall over the southern Himalayas than near-surface wind. Rainfall modul… Show more
