A recent study published in Advances in Atmospheric Sciences has uncovered a detailed mechanism through which intense storms over the Himalayas contribute to increasing moisture in the lower stratosphere—a layer of the atmosphere crucial to global climate regulation. The research, led by Ph.D. student Li Ming and Dr. Wu Xue from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, highlights the important role of gravity waves generated by deep convection.
