In the context of global warming, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has experienced pronounced “Tibetan Amplification (TA)” and exhibits a strong seasonal asymmetry in warming, with winter warming significantly exceeding that of other seasons and summer warming being the weakest. Existing studies indicate that near-surface warming over the TP is characterized by amplification, asymmetry, and Elevation-Dependent Warming (EDW) driven jointly by local processes and atmospheric circulation. This paper reviews key local mechanisms, such as snow-albedo feedback, water vapor, and cloud-radiation feedback, as well as the potential influence of cryospheric changes (e.g., Arctic sea ice loss) and Eurasian aerosol pattern changes on TP warming through the modulation of seasonal circulation anomalies. Recent studies based on observations, reanalysis data, and numerical simulations have revealed the complexity of these mechanisms. However, significant uncertainties remain regarding the data quality, quantitative methods, and remote forcing pathways. Future studies should focus on improving the data quality over the TP, refining quantification methods, and elucidating multilayer coupling and teleconnection processes to deepen our understanding of the seasonal asymmetry of warming on the TP.
