Precipitation over and near mountains is not caused by topography but, rather, occurs when
storms of a type that can occur anywhere (deep convection, fronts, tropical cyclones) form …

In recent years, the Indian Ocean (IO) has been discovered to have a much larger impact on
climate variability than previously thought. This paper reviews climate phenomena and …

The Tibetan plateau, like any landmass, emits energy into the atmosphere in the form of dry
heat and water vapour, but its mean surface elevation is more than 5 km above sea level …

Prevailing opinion assigns the Tibetan Plateau a crucial role in shaping Asian climate,
primarily by heating of the atmosphere over Tibet during spring and summer. Accordingly …

Rising propensity of precipitation extremes and concomitant decline of summer-monsoon
rains are amongst the most distinctive hydroclimatic signals that have emerged over South …

The Asian monsoons are triggered by complex interactions between the atmosphere, Asian
and African orography, and the surrounding oceans, resulting in highly seasonal climate …

The drivers of the evolution of the South Asian Monsoon remain widely debated. An
intensification of monsoonal rainfall recorded in terrestrial and marine sediment archives …

Three‐dimensional structure of summer monsoon convection in the Himalayan region and
its overall variability are examined by analyzing data from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring …

Despite the importance of precipitation and moisture transport over the Tibetan Plateau for
glacier mass balance, river runoff and local ecology, changes in these quantities remain …

The Indonesian maritime continent (IMC) is a miniature of our land–sea coexisting planet
Earth. Firstly, without interior activity, the Earth becomes an even-surfaced “aqua-planet” …
