Highlights: [•] We simulate viability for an endangered ungulate on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau. [•] We first integrate genetic data into viability analysis for Przewalski’s gazelle. [•] The effect of changes in carrying capacity on vital rates was incorporated. [•] Our findings provide useful insights for conservation planning under human impacts. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Using the Boussinesq approximation, the vortex in the boundary layer is assumed to be axisymmetrical and thermal-wind balanced system forced by diabatic heating and friction, and is solved as an initial-value problem of linearized vortex equation set in cylindrical coordinates. The impacts of thermal forcing on the flow field structure of vortex are analyzed. It is found that thermal forcing has significant impacts on the flow field structure, and the material representative forms of these impacts are closely related to the radial distribution of heating. The discussion for the analytical solutions for the vortex in the boundary layer can explain some main structures of the vortex over the Tibetan Plateau. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
