Abstract:Relation is investigated of Tibetan winter thermal regime to Asian summ er and Australian winter monsoons in the context of Japan GMS-observed TBB series.Evidence suggests that with winter warm anomaly in the SW Plateau,the subt ropical summer monsoon rainbelt is northward of mean,and convection is suppressed in the south of the Yangtze river and South China and active convection emerges over the marit ime continent,N W and SW Pacific at low lat it udes,suggestive of active summer(winter)monsoon in the tropical w estern Pacific (Indonesia/northern Australia,and developing subsidence in the equat orial western Pacific. These features are maintained from winter to summer,as exemplif ied by the 1985 case.Also, ant icorrelation in the winter thermal conditions is disclosed between the SW and N E parts of the study region on an interannual basis.As a consequence,it is inappropriate to use the regionaly-averaged thermal condition for research purposes.
