The contributions of different variables to elevation-dependent land surface temperature changes over the Tibetan Plateau and surrounding regions

Yanzhao Zhou et al.

Summary: This study investigates the mechanisms of surface warming over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) and finds that lower elevation areas exhibit enhanced high-elevation surface temperature increases, while higher elevation areas experience reduced increases. The results show that atmospheric factors, such as cloud-radiation feedback and evapotranspiration processes, are the main mechanisms controlling elevation-dependent surface warming in summer, while snow/ice albedo feedback and downward longwave radiation sensitivity to humidity play significant roles in winter.

Spatiotemporal variations of land surface albedo and associated influencing factors on the Tibetan Plateau

Guojin Pang et al.

Summary: Land surface albedo on the Tibetan Plateau (TP) showed significant spatial and temporal variations from 1982 to 2015, influenced by factors such as snow cover, vegetation, and soil moisture. The average albedo exhibited a clear seasonal cycle with a peak in winter and a minimum value in summer, with a weakly downward trend in annual average albedo. Interannual variation of albedo was more responsive to changes in snow cover and vegetation cover in different regions on the TP.

Saturation response of enhanced vegetation productivity attributes to intricate interactions

Xihong Lian et al.

Summary: The study investigates the interaction and relative contributions of five drivers to gross primary productivity in China from 1982 to 2018. It finds that while vegetation productivity has significantly increased, it exhibits similar saturation responses to environmental drivers such as elevated CO2, climatic factors, and soil moisture. Water availability plays an essential role in limiting the potential effects of climate change and elevated CO2 concentrations on vegetation productivity. The findings emphasize the need to consider the intricate interactions globally and incorporate them into mitigation and adaptation policies.

Variability in runoff and responses to land and oceanic parameters in the source region of the Indus River

Azfar Hussain et al.

Summary: Understanding the variability of runoff in the Source Region of the Indus River (SRIR) is crucial for water resource planning. This study analyzes the relationship between SRIR runoff and regional meteorological and global oceanic indices. The results show that most sub-basins in the SRIR experience increased runoff in winter and decreased runoff in summer. The study also finds that local environmental factors have a stronger correlation with runoff than global factors. The findings of this study have significant implications for water management in the SRIR.

Assessing albedo dynamics and its environmental controls of grasslands over the Tibetan Plateau

Lei Zheng et al.

Summary: This study investigated the environmental drivers of albedo in the Tibetan Plateau based on remotely sensed data, revealing the significant impacts of snow cover, vegetation index, and soil moisture on albedo changes in different seasons and spectral bands. The findings are expected to enhance the understanding of energy budget simulations over the Tibetan Plateau region in land surface models.

Spatiotemporal Patterns of Land Surface Temperature Change in the Tibetan Plateau Based on MODIS/Terra Daily Product From 2000 to 2018

Mengjiao Yang et al.

Summary: Under the context of climate change, this study found a significant warming trend in land surface temperature on the Tibetan Plateau, with nighttime temperatures showing more pronounced changes and areas at elevations of 4500 to 5000 meters experiencing the strongest warming effect. Elevation was identified as the most important factor influencing the spatial distribution of LST.
