Tibetan Plateau Moisture Recycling Data and Code for Precipitation Analysis

The Tibetan Plateau dataset supports research on how its ecosystems contribute to local and remote precipitation via moisture recycling. Yan Li from Beijing Normal University created this 5.2 GB collection of shape files, netcdf files, and code, last updated in April 2026. It accompanies a 2022 study published in Global Change Biology.

Use Cases

• Modeling moisture recycling pathways based on geospatial data mentioned in the description
• Analyzing ecosystem contributions to precipitation based on ecological project data referenced
• Validating hydrological models using the provided NetCDF and shapefile data

Strengths

• Includes 5.2 GB of data and code, providing substantial material for analysis
• Associated with a peer-reviewed publication (Global Change Biology, 2022)
• Contains multiple geospatial data formats (NetCDF, shapefiles) for interoperability

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
