Key regions where land surface processes shape the East Asian climate

Land–atmosphere interaction, as one of the key processes affecting the atmosphere and climate over East Asia, has drawn increasing attention during the past few decades. However, the current level of understanding regarding the mechanisms through which land surface processes impact the East Asian climate needs to be improved. Based on existing studies, six key regions where land surface processes affect the East Asian climate are proposed in this study, which can provide a valuable reference for future research into land–atmosphere interaction in East Asia.摘要陆气相互作用是影响东亚大气环流和气候的一个关键过程, 受到了越来越多的关注. 然而, 关于陆面过程影响东亚气候的相关机理的理解还有待提升. 在已有研究基础上, 提出了陆面过程影响东亚气候研究值得关注的青藏高原, 欧亚中高纬地区, 中国东部季风区, 中南半岛, 中亚中纬度区域, 西亚等6个关键区, 期待为加强陆面过程与东亚气候研究提供一定参考.
