Summary:The northward movement of the storm over Bengal Bay was the main weather system producing heavy snow over southern Tibet in Nov. 1995. The effect of the Tibetan Plateau on the track of the storm over Bengal Bay and its cloud system was discussed by analyzing the GMS-5 water vapor image. It is estimated from this discussion that the altitude of the Plateau obstruct effect on synoptic system can reach up to 300 hPa.
