New model accurately predicts precipitation in Tibet's complex terrain.
A model was created to estimate how much rain falls in different parts of Tibet. The researchers used data from satellites and weather stations to figure out where it rains the most. They found that factors like location, height, and slope of the land affect how much rain falls. The model was accurate in predicting rainfall amounts, with only small errors. This means that the model can help us understand and predict where rain will fall in Tibet.
