The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is located at the juncture of several importantnatural and anthropogenic aerosol sources. Satellites have observedsubstantial dust and anthropogenic aerosols in the atmosphere during summerover the TP. These aerosols have distinct effects on the earth's energybalance, microphysical cloud properties, and precipitation rates. Toinvestigate the transport of summer dust and anthropogenic aerosols over theTP, we combined the Spectral Radiation-Transport Model for Aerosol Species(SPRINTARS) with a non-hydrostatic regional model (NHM). The modelsimulation shows heavily loaded dust aerosols over the northern slope andanthropogenic aerosols over the southern slope and the east of the TP.The dust aerosols are primarily mobilized around the Taklimakan Desert,where a portion of the aerosols are transported eastward due to thenorthwesterly current; simultaneously, a portion of the particles aretransported southward when a second northwesterly current becomesnortheasterly because of the topographic blocking of the northern slope ofthe TP. Because of the strong upward current, dust plumes can extend upwardto approximately 7–8 km a.s.l. over the northern slope of the TP. When adust event occurs, anthropogenic aerosols that entrained into thesouthwesterly current via the Indian summer monsoon are transported fromIndia to the southern slope of the TP. Simultaneously, a large amount ofanthropogenic aerosol is also transported from eastern China to the east of theTP by easterly winds. An investigation on the transport of dust andanthropogenic aerosols over the plateau may provide the basis fordetermining aerosol impacts on summer monsoons and climate systems
