Chinese researchers have revealed that the amount of precipitation previously measured on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau has been underestimated considerably, and called for the establishment of a new observation system to measure precipitation on the plateau.
Chinese scientists have recently obtained the continuous observation data of tropospheric atmosphere over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau for the first time. The study is carried out by a research team of the Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research (ITP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences and has obtained observation data for three consecutive years over the plateau.
