The Tibetan Plateau (TP) is the highest and most extensive highland in the world, and is widely known as “the Roof of the World”, “the World Water Tower” and “the Third Pole”. The thermal and mechanical forces of the TP play an essential role in influencing the global climate, and precipitation is one of its most important water-cycle components.
However,…
