The article discusses the Tibetan observation and research platform (TORP) in Tibet, China. The study focuses on the land-surface processes and environment over the plateau, with an emphasis on atmosphere-land interaction. It says that the data collected in TORP could be helpful in the analysis of land and atmospheric processes, model or scheme development, model calibration, validation, and other tasks. Furthermore, the TORP can help on the study of impacts of the Tibetan Plateau on the Asian Monsoon system and climatic changes in the world.
