| Zusammenfassung |
| In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting model was used to
simulate the diurnal variation in summer precipitation over the Tibetan
Plateau (TP) at a cloud-resolving scale. Compared with the TRMM,
precipitation data shows that the model can well simulate the diurnal
rainfall cycle with an overall late-afternoon maximum precipitation in the
central TP and a nighttime maximum in the southern edge. The simulated
diurnal variations in regional circulation and thermodynamics are in good
correspondence with the precipitation diurnal cycles in the central and
southern edge of TP, respectively. A possible mechanism responsible for the
nocturnal precipitation maximum in the southern edge has been proposed,
indicating the importance of the TP in regulating the regional circulation
and precipitation. |
