Tibetan Plateau Forcing and the Timing of the Monsoon Onset over South Asia and the South China Sea

摘要: Abstract Observations were employed to study the thermal characteristics of Tibetan Plateau and its neighboring regions, their impacts on onset Asian monsoon in 1989. Special attention was paid diagnosis temporal spatial distributions surface sensible latent heat fluxes. Results show that whole procedure outbreak is composed three consequential stages. The first over eastern coast Bay Bengal (BOB) early May. It followed by East South China Sea (SCS) 20 May, then India 10 June. shown BOB directly linked as well mechanical forcing Plateau. generates a favorable environment for SCS onset.
