Short summary
The cold downhill airflow of the Tibetan Plateau leading to the low-level jet weakens the height and intensity of the inversion layer, which reduces the energy demand for the broken inversion layer. The low-level jet causes dust aerosols to accumulate near the ground. The material conditions for the development of the desert atmospheric boundary layer can be quickly transformed into thermal conditions.
