Suitable Soil Thermal Conductivity Scheme to Accurately Simulate Soil Thermal Regimes in Permafrost Regions
Chinese researchers recently evaluated a suitable soil thermal conductivity (STC) scheme for use in land surface process models (LSMs) in permafrost regions on the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which could accurately simulate soil thermal regimes in permafrost regions.

Tree-ring Records Reveal Asian Monsoon Variability
Chinese researchers along with international colleagues recently reported a 6,700-year-long, precisely dated and well-calibrated tree-ring stable isotope chronology from the Northeastern Tibetan Plateau. It reveals full-frequency precipitation variability in the Asian Summer Monsoon (ASM) from interannual to multimi...
