Abstract The Tianshan Mountains are known as the “water tower” in the arid region of
Central Asia. Change in precipitation amount and pattern can have a profound impact on …

Mountains play a critical role in water cycles in semiarid regions by providing for the majority
of the total runoff. However, hydroclimatic conditions in mountainous regions vary …

The annual precipitation over the Tianshan Mountains experienced an inter‐decadal
transition shift towards an increasing trend in the late 1980s. This study conducts attribution …

Abstract Precipitation in the Tianshan Mts is one of the main sources of subsurface and
surface water in arid Xinjiang, China. Precipitation on the northern slope is significantly …

The annual precipitation over the Tianshan Mountains experienced an inter-decadal
transition shift towards an increasing trend in the late 1980s. This study conducts attribution …

ABSTRACT Precipitation in Xinjiang, China, was modelled with covariates, such as time and
climate indices, using quantile regressions. Compared to a frequentist quantile regression, a …

Abstract The Tianshan Mountains, with their status as 'water tower', receive quantities of
precipitation that are among the highest in Central Asia. There are considerable knowledge …

Tianshan Mountains are the headwater regions for the central Asia rivers, providing water
resources for ecological protection and economic development in semiarid regions. Due to …

The vulnerable ecosystem of the arid and semiarid region in Central Asia is sensitive to
precipitation variations. Long-term changes of the seasonal precipitation can reveal the …

With the intensification of global warming, spatiotemporal variations in the climate and their
mechanisms have received increasing attention. Currently, the relationship between …
