| Zusammenfassung |
| The diurnal cycle of rainfall over the Tibetan Plateau is
investigated by examining data acquired by the Tropical Rainfall
Measuring Mission (TRMM) Precipitation Radar (PR) over the
June-August seasons of 1998-2007. High spatial resolution data (0.05 deg
x 0.05 deg grid: ~ 5 km x 5 km) are used to identify topographic
features over the complex region of the plateau. Diurnal variation of
rainfall amount, frequency of rainfall, rain conditioned rain rate
and storm height are analyzed to know the characteristics of
precipitation. Distinct diurnal variation is seen over hilly regions,
valleys and 13 large and medium sized lakes. |
