TL;DR: This work uses observation data and numerical experiments to demonstrates that the Asian summer monsoon systems are controlled mainly by thermal forcing whereas large-scale orographically mechanical forcing is not essential.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a new understanding of the mechanical and thermal effects of the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on the circulation and climate in Asia through diagnosis and numerical experiments, showing that the retarding and deflecting effects of TP in winter generate an asymmetric dipole zonal-deviation circulation, with a large anticyclone gyre to the north and a cyclonic gyre in the south, which enhances the cold outbreaks from the north over East Asia, results in a dry climate in south Asia and a moist climate over the Indochina peninsula and south China

TL;DR: In this article, Wang et al. showed that atmospheric heating induced by the rising surface temperatures on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) can enhance East Asian subtropical frontal rainfall, and the mechanism of the linkage was found to be through two distinct Rossby wave trains and the isentropic uplift to the east of the TP.

TL;DR: In this article, the thermal characteristics of the Tibetan Plateau and its neighboring regions, and their impacts on the onset of the Asian monsoon in 1989 were studied, and the diagnosis of the temporal and spatial distributions of surface sensible and latent heat fluxes was paid to the diagnosis.

TL;DR: In this article, Wang et al. proposed the reversed Wang and Fan index, which is nearly identical to the leading principal component of the EASM and greatly facilitates real-time monitoring.
