Cloud vertical structures associated with precipitation magnitudes over the Tibetan Plateau and its neighboring regions

Cloud vertical structures and precipitation over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) are analyzed and compared with its neighboring land and tropical oceans based on CloudSat/CALIPSO satellite measurements and TRMM precipitation data. Results show that the TP generally has a compression effect on cloud systems...
