- Abstract
Wind profile data were measured by a wind profiler at QOMS (The Qomolangma Station for Atmospheric Environmental Observation and Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences) and, in separate experiments, GPS radiosondes were used at Shiquanhe Station and Litang Station on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). All three stations are located in the most rugged areas of the TP. QOMS is surrounded by the Himalaya, Shiquanhe Station by the Transhimalaya and Litang station is near the Hengduan Mountains. Using observational wind profile data, effective aerodynamic roughness length
