**3. Conclusions**

This Special Issue compiles the up-to-date progress on the following: land surface energy budget, glacier/snow phenology, the spatiotemporal distribution of precipitation, properties of land surface characteristic parameters, evaluations of current models and products, and high-altitude lake processes over the TP and its surrounding regions. These selected papers are novel and timely in informing the land–atmosphere interactions driven by climate change. The collation of these papers will provide quantitative references for better assessment and prediction of the land–atmosphere interactions and their effects on "the Third Pole" and its surrounding regions.
