Figure 1 Spatial distribution of spring mean March-May sensible heat SH flux over the Tibetan Plateau TP for 1980-2005 W m -2 . The thick lines indicate the area of the TP with an average altitude higher than 3000 m. In the top left panel, the locations of the 71 meteorological stations are shown by the dots, while the dashed rectangle denotes the domain of the central and eastern TP CETP 28-38#cod#x000b0;N, 85-105#cod#x000b0;E.
