The atmospheric heating in the Tibetan Plateau is considered as one of key processes in the context of the seasonal march and interannual variation of the Asian Monsoon. The in-situ data obtained through the GAME-Tibet and the CAMP-Tibet projects, the satellite data sets, and the model simulation outputs are integrated for investigating the physical processes and estimating the atmospheric heating quantitatively. The model simulation and the in-situ data showed that the mountain-valley circulation associated with the very deep convective systems play important roles in the atmospheric heating during the pre-monsoon season. The integrated products of the satellite data show the distribution and seasonal variation of the atmospheric heating in the Tibetan Plateau quantitavely.
