Schematic diagram of precipitation on the Tibetan Plateau (TP). Precipitation on the TP has a significant influence on climate, water resources, and terrestrial ecosystem. Here, we review recent progresses of precipitation on the TP based on observations (meteorological stations and satellite remote sensing) and simulations (global climate models and downscaling models), and discuss some mechanisms accounting for precipitation changes. Finally, we conclude a strategy for future research to further study the TP precipitation. Such review provides crucial implications for hydrological and precipitation studies over the TP.
