Precipitation measurement intercomparison in the Qilian Mountains, Northeastern Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

The Cryosphere, 2015
Abstract. Systematic errors in gauge-measured precipitation are well-known but no reports have come from the Tibet Plateau. An intercomparison experiment was carried out from September 2010 to September 2014 in the Hulu watershed, northeastern Tibet Plateau.

Comparisons of statistical downscaling methods for air temperature over the Qilian Mountains [PDF]

Theoretical and Applied Climatology, 2022
Abstract Air temperature is an important indicator of climate change, as well as for understanding changes in hydrology, ecology, and other natural systems. However, meteorological stations that provide reliable temperature observations are usually sparse in areas of complex terrain, thus limiting our ability to quantify high spatial resolution

Hydrological effects of evapotranspiration in the Qilian Mountains forest belt

, 2023
Abstract. Mountainous areas are the main water-producing and source areas of rivers. Global climate change is transforming the distribution of plants and forms of water use. Therefore, a clear understanding of evapotranspiration in mountainous forest zone is key for understanding the ecohydrological effect of vegetation and its influence on the water ...
