Diurnal and Seasonal Climatology of Precipitation Depth over the Tibetan Plateau and Its Downstream Regions
青藏高原及其下游地区降水厚度季、日变化的气候特征分析

The diurnal and seasonal climatology of the precipitation depth over the Tibetan Plateau and its downstream regions is investigated using the data of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission(TRMM)precipitation radar(PR)measurements from 1998 to 2007.Results demonstrate that both convective and stratiform precipitation depths are smaller in Tibet than in its downstream regions.The convective precipitation depth in the East China Sea region is smaller than that in the Yangtze Plain,while the stratiform precipitati...
