Abstract

Stable oxygen isotope(δ18O)in ice core records is good proxy for temperature record and is representative of climatic change. The study of the δ18O variation in precipitation can throw light on the climatic significance of δ18O records in ice core. This paper reviews the advances in the study of stable oxygen isotope in precipitation in the monsoon region,the non-monsoon region,and the transition region between the monsoon region and the non-monsoon region on the Tibetan Plateau,respectively. Moreover,an outlook on future research over the Tibetan Plateau is presented in this paper.
