 This book is a proceedings of the ‘International Symposium on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and Mountain Meteorology’, held in 20-24 March, 1984. It is a comprehensive summary of important research results in the field of mountain meteorology, including sub-topics such as field observation, dynamic and thermal effects of the mountains on general circulation, results obtained through the numerical models with the large-scale topography, and circulation systems on the Plateau.
