Spatiotemporal variations of the twentieth century Tibetan Plateau precipitation based on the monthly 2.5° reconstructed data

This paper studies the spatiotemporal variations of precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) region with latitude and longitude ranges of (25° N, 45° N) and (65° E, 105° E) of the twentieth century from January 1901–December 2000. A long-term (January 1901–December 2009) TP monthly precipitation dataset with 2.5° latitude-longitude resolution is generated in this paper using spectral optimal gridding (SOG) method. The method uses the Global...
