Abstract：
The Tibetan Plateau's vast topography not only influences the climate of Asia and even the world, but also creates significant climate variations within itself. For example, the southern plateau is mainly affected by monsoons, resulting in warm and humid environment, while the northern plateau is primarily influenced by westerlies, leading to cold and dry nature. To quantify the differences in moisture source for precipitation between the southern and northern plateau and reveal their distinct characteristics of change under global warming, the authors tracked the moisture sources for approximately 40 years of rainy season (May-September) and annual precipitation in the southern (south of 30°N) and northern (north of 35°N) plateau regions. The moisture tracking model used ERA-Interim reanalysis data, CMA precipitation data, and GLDAS evaporation data as inputs, and set up comparative experiments for validation. The dataset includes: (1) the extent of the northern and southern Tibetan Plateau; (2) annual and rainy season precipitation source data for the northern and southern plateau from 1979 to 2016, with a spatial resolution of 1°×1°, unit: mm; (3) regional average annual and rainy season precipitation for the northern and southern plateau from 1979 to 2016. The dataset is archived in .nc, .shp, and .xlsx formats, and consists of 17 data files with data size of 66.4 MB. The analysis paper based on the dataset has been published in Journal of Hydrometeorology, Vol. 20, 2019.
