The powerful thermal driving force of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) exerts a significant influence on weather, climate, and environmental processes in Asia and across the globe. This paper investigates the causes of climate change on the QTP from the perspective of global atmospheric energy transport and water cycle. During summer, a “hollow energy pool” has been discovered in the troposphere, with its energy center located above the QTP, the “Asian water tower”. Our study indicates that the QTP serves as a critical “window” for the global transport of water vapor and energy. Since 1991, the total atmospheric energy (TAE) and precipitation in the warming-wetting region of the QTP (central and northern plateau) have exhibited interdecadal growth. Furthermore, the TAE of the plateau is closely linked to the TAE and water vapor of oceans at mid-low latitudes, and even in the southern hemisphere, the increased precipitation in the warming-wetting region of the plateau has been mainly regulated by the atmospheric energy and water vapor transport structures over the equatorial western Pacific, southwestern Pacific, and southern Indian Ocean, we further reveal the energy transport channel from the warming oceanic areas of the southern and northern hemispheres to the QTP. This study deepens the novel understanding of atmospheric energy accompanying water vapor transport in the southern and northern hemispheres, which is of significant importance for understanding the responses of energy and water cycle in the warming-wetting of the QTP and global climate change.

青藏高原 （QTP） 强大的热驱动力对亚洲和全球的天气、气候和环境过程产生重大影响。本文从全球大气能量传输和水循环的角度探讨了 QTP 上气候变化的原因。在夏季，在对流层中发现了一个“空心能量池”，其能量中心位于 QTP 上方，即“亚洲水塔”。我们的研究表明，QTP 是水蒸气和能量全球传输的关键“窗口”。自 1991 年以来，高云区（中部和北部高原）增温-湿润区的总大气能量 （TAE） 和降水呈年代际增长。此外，高原的TAE与中低纬度地区海洋的TAE和水汽密切相关，甚至在南半球，高原增湿区降水的增加主要受到赤道西太平洋、西南太平洋上空的大气能量和水汽输送结构的调节。 和南印度洋，我们进一步揭示了从南半球和北半球变暖的海洋区域到 QTP 的能量传输通道。本研究加深了对南半球和北半球伴随水蒸气输送的大气能量的新理解，这对于理解能量和水循环在 QTP 变暖-湿润和全球气候变化中的响应具有重要意义。
