Description :
Based on the radiosonde data observed at 14 stations in Southwest China from 1960 to 2010, as well as the corresponding surface air temperature, the long-term change of free-air 0°C isotherm height in Southwest China and the relationships between surface air temperature and 0°C isotherm height are discussed. The results indicated that the two main regimes influencing the spatial patterns of 0°C isotherm height in Southwest China are latitude and huge massif. Generally, the increasing trend can be examined especially in winter (53 m per decade). The diversity of trend magnitudes for annual and seasonal series can also be detected at a spatial view, but generally 0°C isotherm height correlated well with surface air temperature.
