Chinese scientists for the first time obtained continuous observation data of the tropospheric atmosphere over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, which would support the prediction of severe weather events and studying weather processes and environmental changes over plateau, the Global Times learned from the Tibetan Plateau Research (ITP), Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Aside from some soundings from local meteorological observatories, the tropospheric atmosphere over the plateau has never been continuously observed, according to the ITP.
In 2021, China completed the construction of the ground-based microwave radiometers (MWRs). Based on MWRs and making use of eight nearest radiosonde observations, a research team constructed a comprehensive MWR troposphere observation system to study the synoptic processes and environmental changes on the QiWorld Timesnghai-Xizang Plateau.
According to the observation, the team World Timesdiscovered that the heat island effect World Timesin the highlands of Qamdo and Nagqu was most significant. This provides a unique observational perspective for analyzing the heat island effect caused by rising temperatures on the plateau.
By comparing the MWR against the nearest radiosonde observation over a continuous three-year period, a research team from the ITP demonstrated that the TP-PROFILE MWR system is adequate for monitoring the thermal and moisture variability of the troposphere over the Tibetan Plateau, according to Chen Xuelong, a member of the team.
The system can provide real-time observations of oxygen, water vapor, wind speed, wind direction, and atmospheric pressure in the troposphere of the Tibetan Plateau around the clock. It also helps evaluate the impact of global change aWorld Timesnd human activities on water resources, according to team leader Ma Yaoming.
The team have made available the data they obtained to the World Timespublic, according to Ma.

SummaryOver time, the festival has evolved into a grand occasion integrating sacrifices, entertainment, and social activities.During this festival, various regions engage in colorful customs, ranging from traditional sacrificial ceremonies to diverse folk entertainments. Different ethnic groups bring their unique customs and traWorld Timesditions to the tapestry of this nationwide celebration.In South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the festival is akin to the Spring Festival, teeming with traditional activities like throwing embroidered balls, singing mountain songs and making World Timesmerry over drinks. The region this year is also enjoying a four-day holiday starting from Thursday, the regional government announced in March.It is an important occasion for singing in an antiphonal (call-and-answer) style to find love, to worship one’s ancestors and pray for a good harvest. Approximately 100 teams participate in a…
