However, up to now, there have not been an accurately calculation and systematic analysis of the eleva- tion of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau Surface and its distribution. Based on the SRTM3-DEM data and the technique of spatial analysis in GIS, the elevation of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau Surface and its distribution are calculated and ana- lyzed. It suggests that the main part of the Plateau Surface distributes in the range of 4400 - 5300 m.a.s.l and with a cen- ter elevation of 4950 m.a.s.l. And it is concluded that the grid unit of 13 × 13 (1.37 km2) is the optimum statistical unit for calculating the relief amplitude in Tibet Plateau by using SRTM3-DEM.
