Cyclonic storms associated with the midlatitude Subtropical Westerly Jet (SWJ), referred to
as Western Disturbances (WDs), play a critical role in the meteorology of the Indian …

Precipitation over and near mountains is not caused by topography but, rather, occurs when
storms of a type that can occur anywhere (deep convection, fronts, tropical cyclones) form …

The hydrological budget of Himalayan rivers is dominated by monsoonal rainfall and
snowmelt, but their relative impact is not well established because this remote region lacks a …

We study the properties of precipitation in the Hindu‐Kush Karakoram Himalaya (HKKH)
region using currently available data sets. We consider satellite rainfall estimates (Tropical …

Along the southern Himalayan topographic front, the Indian summer monsoon modulates
erosive processes and rates. To investigate the influence of topography and relief on rainfall …

▪ Abstract The influence of surface orography on patterns of precipitation gives rise to some
of the most pronounced climate gradients on Earth, and plays a fundamental role in the …

The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Integrated Multi-satellite Retrievals for GPM
(IMERG) products provide quasi-global (60° N–60° S) precipitation estimates, beginning …

In this study, we evaluate four widely used global high-resolution satellite precipitation
products against gauge observations over the Tibetan Plateau (TP). We also investigate the …

The short-term rainfall climatology regime over Saudi Arabia is obtained from the Tropical
Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) data for the period 1998–2009. The TRMM rainfall …

Correct understanding of the land-surface processes and cloud-precipitation processes in
the Tibetan Plateau (TP) is an important prerequisite for the study and forecast of the …
