A high-accuracy rainfall dataset by merging multiple satellites and dense gauges over the southern Tibetan Plateau for 2014–2019 warm seasons

<p>Tibetan Plateau (TP) is well known as Asia's water tower from where many large rivers originate. However, due to complex spatial variability in climate and topography, there is still a lack of a high-quality rainfall dataset for hydrological modeling and flood prediction. This study th...
