INFLUENCES OF QINGHAI XIZANG(TIBET) PLATEAU UPLIFT ON THE ATMOSPHERIC CIRCULATION,GLOBAL CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENT CHANGES

综合介绍了青藏高原隆升对亚洲季风形成、北半球大气定常行星波建立、区域和全球气候变迁及环境演化的影响，并对近年来的研究进展作了较为详细的评述，指出今后需要深入研究的若干问题。

This paper introduces some important influences of Qinghai Xizang (Tibet) Plateau uplift on the past global change and up to date advances in this field. Previous researches show that Qinghai Xizang Plateau upheaval plays a key role in the following aspects: (1) the reconstruction of the atmospheric general circulation, including the development of Asian monsoon system and the adjustment of stationary planetary wave; (2) the climate change on the global scale, especially over the Plateau and its neighborhoods, such as drying in the northern midlatitudes, wetting in monsoonal Asia and the global cooling events; (3) the evolution of the natural environment, like the formation of the Loess Plateau northern of China and enlargement of deserts in the Asian continental interior, the development of mountain glaciers and snow cover, the evolution of lakes and drainage systems, and the regional differentiation of ecosystem. Meanwhile, some problems in the present work and the direction for the future research are pointed out. For example, linear and nonlinear impacts of the uplifting, gradual and abrupt changes induced by the Plateau uplift and intercomparison between geological climate records and paleoclimate modeling.
