Progress in climate modeling of precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau

Given the controversy regarding the ‘Monsoon Melee’, there is a need for more accurate Tibetan Plateau (TP) climate modeling that clarifies its role in monsoon variations [1]. Because of the unique geographical characteristics of the region, TP climate modeling faces many challenges. One of the largest modeling biases is the overestimation of precipitation along the southern slopes of the TP, which influences the simulation of the monsoon circulation through the teleconnection associated with the local latent heat flux. This also
