What are the characteristics of the climate in Tibet Plateau?

1, strong radiation, more sunshine, low temperature and less accumulated temperature, and the temperature decreases with the increase of altitude and latitude.

2. According to the calculation, the annual average temperature will decrease by 0.57℃ with the elevation increasing by 100 m, and it will decrease by 0.63℃ with the latitude increasing by 1 degree, with a large daily variation; Wet and dry, rainy night; Winter is dry and cold, windy; Summer is cool and rainy, with more hail; The four seasons are unknown.

3. The average monthly temperature in most areas is below 15℃, and the average temperature in June and July of 65438 is lower than that in the eastern plain of the same latitude 15-20℃.

4. According to the climate classification, there is no summer in Tibet all year round except in the valley area on the southeast edge.

Extended data

Main features of plateau climate:

1, the atmosphere is clean and the solar radiation is strong.

2. The daily range of low temperature is large and the annual change is small.

3. Less precipitation and great regional differences. The annual precipitation in the plateau gradually decreases from more than 4,000 mm in southeast Tibet to the cold lake in Qaidam Basin, and the precipitation in the cold lake is only 17.5 mm. ..

4. According to the index of temperature and humidity, combined with vegetation and considering the influence of geothermal energy, through analysis, high altitude areas are divided into high altitude sub-cold zone, plateau temperate zone, tropical mountain area in Southeast Asia and tropical mountain area, and according to the humidity status, they are divided into humid, arid, semi-arid and other 13 climate types.

Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is the initiator and regulator of climate change in the northern hemisphere.
