The Tibetan Plateau, towering as the world’s highest and largest plateau, wields huge influence on Asian and even global weather patterns and climate systems. Over the downstream of the Tibetan Plateau, the global strongest cloud radiative cooling occurs over Southeast China from March to April. These clouds pack a powerful cooling punch, whose effect shapes temperature patterns and even local weather in Southeast China.
