Abstract

By using monthly SSMR and SSM/I satellite retrieved snow depth as well as NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data during 1978-2006,the spatial and temporal variations of snow depth anomalies in winter and spring over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau were investigated with statistical methods such as EOF,correlation and composite analysis.And the connection between interdecadal variations of snow depth in winter and spring over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and summer South Asia High are further explored.Results show that the leading EOF modes of winter and spring snow depths exhibt consistent spatial and temporal variations and significant inter-decadal variations.Less winter(spring) snow appears in most areas before 1987(1988),while more snow exists after that.There are evident correlation between the time coefficients of the first EOF mode of snow depth and the characteristic index of the South Asia High.Further analysis suggests that light(thick) snow in winter and spring tends to enhance(reduce) the surface heating,especially in the south part of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and intensify(weaken) the vertical motion over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau,resulting stronger(weaker) and eastward(westward) summer South Asia High.
