Abstract:

The Arctic, Antarctic and Tibetan Plateau are often called the three poles of the Earth, being the key areas focused by many international scientific projects to study the global change. The three places are very sensitive to global climate change, so it is necessary to do some research on these regions for better understanding. Under the background of current global warming, the three extreme places display multiple climate variability temporarily and spatially, which affects the global atmospheric circulations and the weather and climate over China. The research on the three polar regions in atmospheric sciences and global change via enhancing monitoring of climate change, doing research on the response and feedback of the three regions to the global change will provide support for climate change adaptation and the sustainable development of China economics.

Key words: Climate change, the Three Poles of the Earth, Global change, Scientific research, Climate Change adaptation
