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: The Third Pole (TP) is experiencing rapid warming and is currently in its warmest period in the past 2,000 years as mentioned in this paper, and the latest development in multidisciplinary TP research is reviewed in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed progress in the study of Tibetan Plateau (TP) climate dynamics over the past decade, including thermal adaptation and the TP sensible heat (SH) driving air-pump, to identify the mechanisms responsible for the circulation anomaly produced by thermal forcing of the TP.
