Tibetan anti cyclone as simulated in a general circulation model

Abstract

The a im of this study is \0 investiga te the sensitivity of the mean posit ion and intensity of
the T ibetan anticyclon e simula ted in a Gener al Circ ula tion Model (GeM) to presc ri bed sur face bou nda ry conditio

by the global sea surface temperat ures. The simulated Ti betan High is close 10 its climatologicalla titudi na l position
