  abstract = {{R}eliable precipitation data in the {H}imalayas are essential for the study of the water resources, the evolution of glaciers, and the present and future climate. {A}lthough several types of precipitation datasets are available for the {H}imalayan region, all of them have limitations, which hamper the quantification of the precipitation fluxes at high elevations. {T}his study compares different types of precipitation datasets issued from (i) in situ data, (ii) satellite-based data [{TRMM}, {C}limate {H}azards {G}roup {I}nfrared {P}recipitation with {S}tation {D}ata ({CHIRPS})], and (iii) a reanalysis product [{H}igh {A}sia {R}efined analysis ({HAR})] for a small headwater catchment at high elevations ({U}pper {D}udh {K}oshi, {N}epal) and assesses the impact of the precipitation uncertainty on the result of the modeling of the glacio-hydrological system. {D}uring the analyzed period from 2010 to 2015, large differences between the precipitation datasets occur regarding annual amounts (ranging from 410 to 1190mmyr21) as well as in seasonal and diurnal cycles. {T}he simulations with the glacio-hydrological model {D}istributed {H}ydrological {S}oil {V}egetation {M}odel-{G}laciers {D}ynamics {M}odel ({DHSVM}-{GDM}) show that the choice of a given precipitation dataset greatly impacts the simulated snow cover dynamics and glacier mass balances as well as the annual, seasonal, and diurnal streamflows. {D}ue to the uncertainty in the precipitation, the simulated contribution of the ice melt to the annual outflow also remains uncertain and simulated fractions range from 29% to 76% for the 2012-13 glaciological year.},
