The present paper addresses driving mechanisms of global monsoon (GM) variability and
outstanding issues in GM science. This is the second synthesis of the PAGES GM Working …

Cyclonic storms associated with the midlatitude Subtropical Westerly Jet (SWJ), referred to
as Western Disturbances (WDs), play a critical role in the meteorology of the Indian …

This article provides a comprehensive review of the global monsoon that encompasses
findings from studies of both modern monsoons and paleomonsoons. We introduce a …

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 …

Although most data suggest that the India–Eurasia continental collision began∼ 45–55 Myr
ago, the architecture of the Himalayan–Tibetan orogen is dominated by deformational …

The edge of a monsoon region is usually highly sensitive to climate change. Pakistan, which
is located on the northern edge of the Indian monsoon, is highly vulnerable to heavy rainfall …

A prominent example of climate–tectonic coupling is the Asian monsoon and the uplift of the
Tibetan Plateau. Here we review some of what is known about the history of the monsoon …

As one of the most important geological events in Cenozoic era, the uplift of the Tibetan
Plateau (TP) has had profound influences on the Asian and global climate and environment …

We review the skill of thirty coupled climate models participating in the Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) in terms of reproducing properties of the seasonal …

The climatic effect of Tibetan Plateau (TP) uplift is a hot topic in paleoclimate research. In this
paper, the results of a set of numerical simulations are reported to analyze the impact of …
