The Second Tibetan Plateau Scientific Expedition and Research has revealed a distinct layered structure in atmospheric moisture over Nyingchi's Lulang area, with significant seasonal differences between winter and spring. Researchers have clearly identified the heights of the boundary layer, mixed layer, and free troposphere. These findings provide key data for improving atmospheric models and refining climate projections for the accelerating water cycle in the "Asian Water Tower" region.
