Abstract:
The mountain meteorology is an interdisciplinary study of the interaction between the mountains and the atmosphere, and is an important composition of the Mountains Sciences. During the past 25 years, a lot of important progress has been made in research of mountain meteorology in China. Besides continue organizing experiments and in-depth studing atmospheric science around the Tibetan Plateau, the researches of relationship between meteorology and topography have been down around other major mountains in China, such as around the Tianshan, Huashan, Qinling, Hengduanshan, Emeishan, Ailaoshan, Loushan, Bashan, Dabieshan, Taihangshan, Changbaishan, Huangshan, Jiuhuashan, and so on. This paper summarizes main research results in the mountain meteorology in China since 1990s, it includes the observation experiments, the topics on atmospheric boundary layer, fundamental theory, numerical simulation, precipitation science, climate and climate change, climate resources, environmental meteorology and meteorological hazards etc. Furthermore, we propose some suggestions that are worthy to pay more attention in research of mountain meteorology in the future.
