Tandong Yao,Lonnie G. Thompson,Lonnie G. Thompson,Wei Yang,Wusheng Yu,Yang Gao,Xuejun Guo,Xiaoxin Yang,Keqin Duan,Huabiao Zhao,Baiqing Xu,Jiancheng Pu,Anxin Lu,Yang Xiang,Dambaru Ballab Kattel,Daniel R. Joswiak +15 more
TL;DR: This paper found that the most intensive glacier shrinkage is in the Himalayan region, whereas glacial retreat in the Pamir Plateau region is less apparent, due to changes in atmospheric circulations and precipitation patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI
Black soot and the survival of Tibetan glaciers
Baiqing Xu,Junji Cao,James Hansen,Tandong Yao,Daniel R. Joswia,Ninglian Wang,Guangjian Wu,Mo Wang,Huabiao Zhao,Wei Yang,Xianqin Liu,Jianqiao He +11 more
TL;DR: Evidence is found that reduced black soot emissions, in addition to reduced greenhouse gases, may be required to avoid demise of Himalayan glaciers and retain the benefits of glaciers for seasonal fresh water supplies.
Journal ArticleDOI
An inventory of glacial lakes in the Third Pole region and their changes in response to global warming
Guoqing Zhang,Guoqing Zhang,Tandong Yao,Tandong Yao,Hongjie Xie,Weicai Wang,Wei Yang,Wei Yang +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the first glacial lake in- ventories for the Third Pole were conducted for ~1990, 2000, and 2010 using Landsat TM/ETM+ data.
Journal ArticleDOI
WRF simulation of a precipitation event over the Tibetan Plateau, China - an assessment using remote sensing and ground observations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) models capacity in retrieving rain and snowfall on the Tibetan Plateau (TiP) in such a configuration using a nested approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
The footprint of Asian monsoon dynamics in the mass and energy balance of a Tibetan glacier
TL;DR: In this paper, a physical, distributed mass and energy balance model for Zhadang Glacier (central Tibet, 30 N) based on in-situ measurements over 2009-2011 and an uncertainty estimate by Monte Carlo and ensemble strategies is presented.
