Abstract：

The moisture source and transport mechanism of water vapor for precipitation on the Qingzang Plateau have long been a hot topic of interest in the international hydro-climatology community. Due to the limited number of ground stations on the plateau and their extremely uneven distribution, there are large errors in overall precipitation measurements, leading to significant uncertainties in tracing the origins of precipitation. The author introduced satellite precipitation data to compensate for the limitations of station-observed precipitation, allowing for a more accurate assessment of the water vapor sources for overall plateau precipitation. Using a water vapor tracking numerical model, the author simulated the water vapor sources for overall plateau precipitation over about 20 years. The model used ERA-Interim reanalysis data, TRMM satellite precipitation, and GLDAS OAFlux evaporation as data drivers. Comparative experiments were set up for validation, ultimately generating monthly-scale data on water vapor sources for overall plateau precipitation. The dataset includes: (1) the extent of the Qingzang Plateau; (2) monthly water vapor contribution data for precipitation on the plateau from 1998 to 2018, with a spatial resolution of 1°x1°, in units of mm/month; (3) annual and monthly precipitation data for the plateau. The dataset is archived in .nc, .shp, and .xlsx formats, consisting of 8 data files with a total size of 55 MB (compressed into one file with 40.9 MB). The research findings based on this dataset have been published in the journal of Environmental Research Letters, Vol. 15, 2020.
