General Description:
To clarify the energy and water cycle in the Tibetan Plateau, it is important to understand the characteristics of the basic meteorological elements and surface fluxes. The purpose of Tibet AWS (Automatic Weather Station) observation is to improve the quantitative understanding of land-atmosphere interactions over the Tibetan Plateau and develop the land surface process models by monitoring these meteorological values.
