Abstract:
Abstract. By using the multi-source data of meteorology over recent decades, this
study discovered a summertime “hollow wet pool” in the troposphere with a
center of high water vapor over the Asian water tower (AWT) on the Tibetan
Plateau (TP), which is indicated by a vertical transport “window” in the
troposphere. The water vapor transport in the upper troposphere extends from
the vertical transport window over the TP with significant connections
among the Arctic, Antarctic and TP regions, highlighting the effect of the TP's
vertical transport window of water vapor in the troposphere on global change
in water vapor. The vertical transport window is built by the AWT's thermal
forcing in association with the dynamic effect of the TP's “hollow heat
island”. Our study improves the understanding of the vapor transport over
the TP with important implication for global climate change.
