英文摘要As a transitional zone between westerlies and the Asian Monsoon system, the northeastern part of the Tibetan Plateau (NETP) is highly sensitive to climate change. The record of historical regional moisture variation in the NETP is essential for understanding climatic variation and its relationship with different climate systems in this area. Using principal component analysis, a time series was extracted from sixteen moisture-sensitive tree-ring series to investigate the regional moisture variation in the NETP over the past 150 years. We find that the first principal component (PC1) represents 46.9 % of the total variance, reflecting a common growth response to the climate factor. A spatial correlation analysis of PC1 with the gridded meteorological data demonstrated that the precipitation in May-June was the major factor in controlling tree-ring growth. Further analysis indicated that the westerlies had a sustained influence on rainfall in the NETP over the past 150 years. In addition, the rainfall in the NETP may be closely associated with the East Asian Monsoon (EAM). Severe drought years commonly correspond to years of a negative phase of the North Atlantic Oscillation and stronger EAM years over the past 150 years.
