Climatic characteristics of alpine plateau

The climatic characteristics of plateau alpine climate are:

(1) gale, windy weather, thunderstorm and hail.

(2) The daily temperature range is remarkable, which is 65438 0 ~ 2 times higher than that in the plain area of the same latitude.

(3) Precipitation is obviously affected by topography. The edge of the plateau facing the humid airflow is a rainy area, while the rainfall on the side facing the humid airflow and inside the plateau is less.

(4) The solar radiation is strong and the radiation difference is small. Due to the high altitude of the plateau, the atmospheric thickness, air density, water vapor content and atmospheric aerosol content decrease accordingly. Therefore, the direct radiation intensity of the sun in the plateau area is large, especially the ultraviolet radiation intensity is large.

Influence of Plateau Climate on Human Body

The plateau climate environment has certain influence on human health. In ancient Tibetan medicine and related literature, people have an objective and correct understanding of the influence of plateau climate environment on human health. The study also holds that although the influence of plateau climate environment on human health is unfavorable, Tibetan people have lived in plateau climate environment for generations.

Indigenous Tibetans who have lived on the plateau for a long time have adapted to the climate and environment of the plateau, making them live healthily on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. With the improvement of living standards in people in Xizang, people's average life expectancy is also increasing. Therefore, as long as people have a correct understanding of the plateau climate environment and adopt scientific lifestyle and fitness methods, they can better adapt to the plateau climate environment.
