Abstract

Using monthly surface air temperature data from 165 stations in the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and its surrounding areas from 1961 to 1990, the relationship between the climatic warming and the elevation above sea level is analyzed. The results show the recent climatic warming over the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is related to the elevation. The temperature change range generally increases with the elevation. For example, the linear trends of annual mean temperature change in the recent 30 years are 0.0, 0.11, 0.12, 0.19 and 0.25℃/ 10a for areas below 500, in 500～1 500, 1 500～2 500, 2 500～3 500 and above 3 500m, respectively.
