The challenge of simulating the complex relationships between soil moisture, atmospheric circulation, and land surface temperature. The difficulty of capturing the freeze-thaw processes in spring that lead to soil moisture anomalies in the central and western Tibetan Plateau. The need to evaluate the performance of climate models in simulating the observed relationships between soil moisture and land surface temperature.

The study identifies a gap in understanding the influence of soil moisture during the frozen period on late-spring surface thermal anomalies. Prior work has focused on the relationship between spring Tibetan Plateau surface temperatures and summer precipitation. The study aims to investigate the specific relationship between January soil moisture and May surface air temperature.

Abstract The influence of spring surface forcing over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) on the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM) has been extensively studied, but the physical mechanism remains unclear: How could the signal of surface forcing over the TP be maintained to boreal summer? We found that both soil temperature (ST) over the TP and sea surface temperature (SST) over the western Pacific (WP) play key roles for the maintenance of spring TP forcing on the EASM.
