Ueno, K. (2005). Synoptic conditions causing nonmonsoon snowfalls in the Tibetan Plateau. Geophysical Research Letters 32: doi: 10.1029/2004GL021421. issn: 0094-8276.

The characteristics of atmospheric circulations in Asia causing snowfalls over the central Tibetan Plateau (TP) were investigated during the nonmonsoon season. During 1994--2004, a clear pattern of a barotropic pressure anomaly was found over northeast Asia by means of composite analysis. NCEP reanalysis data and METEOSAT images were examined for snowfall events detected by in-situ surface albedo measurements during Nov.--May, 1998/99, and the possible mechanisms causing precipitation in the TP and the influence of mid-latitude large-scale meandering flow were discussed.
