Summer rainfall over the southwestern Tibetan Plateau controlled by deep convection over the Indian subcontinent

While precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau is a vital resource for glacier mass balance, river runoff and local ecology, the controlling mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, the authors combine observations and simulations and show that convective storms over India sweep moisture up and over th...

Sumario:While precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau is a vital resource for glacier mass balance, river runoff and local ecology, the controlling mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, the authors combine observations and simulations and show that convective storms over India sweep moisture up and over the plateau.
