Abstract
The South Asian summer monsoon (SASM) is the most important climate system in Asia. Using observa-
tional data from the HEST2006 (Himalayan Exchange between the Surface and Troposphere 2006) campaign
and large-scale grid data, this paper analyzed the SASM impact on local meteorological parameters including
radiation, temperature, humidity, and wind in the Himalayas. The SASM experienced one active and one
break period during the HEST2006 campaign. The local meteorological parameters exhibit great differences
between the active period and the break period of the SASM. The radiation fluxes are greater in the break
period than in the active period. The air temperature and specific humidity are lower, but soil temperature
and wind speed are higher in the break period than in the active period. Further analysis indicates that the
SASM greatly affects the meteorological features of the Himalayan region.
