-- Looking for additional information to add to Gobi Desert climate.

Copied from Gobi Desert Wikipedia article: Although the southeast monsoons reach the southeast parts of the Gobi, the area throughout this region is generally characterized by extreme dryness, especially during the winter, when the Siberian anticyclone is at its strongest. **ADDITION HERE** Hence, the icy sandstorms and snowstorms of spring and early summer plus early January (winter).

The southern and central parts of the Gobi Desert have variable plant growth due to this monsoon activity. The more northern areas of the Gobi are very cold and dry, making it unable to support much plant growth; this cold and dry weather is attributed to Siberian-Mongolian high pressure cells.


 * Hey Angelique, looks great! My only suggestion would be to include that the high pressure cells are Hadley cells (if they are, that is. If not, then disregard!) - Hinz200c (talk) 23:07, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
