摘　　要：The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the third pole towering high in the world, has always been the object of extreme climate research. This is the most extensive high altitude area in the world, with an average altitude of 4000 meters. Such a wide mountainous area absorbs more solar energy than one at sea level, so the winter here is cold and summer is broiling hot. In the 1950s, the Chinese atmospheric scientist Ye Duzheng and German meteorologist Hermann Flohn both suggested that the air layer of the summer plateau was warmer than the sea and the air layer with the same altitude over land located at sea level, so that the temperature difference generated winds, which blow moist air from the ocean into the interior of the subcontinent of India, becoming a driving engine of the rainy season, the Monsoon.The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the third pole towering high in the world, has always been the object of extreme climate research.
