Chinese researchers have revealed that the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is expected to experience accelerated warming in the next 10 years, according to the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

While traditional climate projections can highlight long-term trends, temperature changes on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau over the next decade remain highly uncertain due to substantial internal climate variability.
However, a new study utilizing decadal climate prediction – an emerging tool that combines the initial state of the climate system with external forcing – suggests improved accuracy in regional climate forecasts.
Researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) analyzed advanced international decadal prediction systems to assess the predictability of temperature changes on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau.
