  abstract = {{T}he {T}ibetan {P}lateau is a high-altitude arid region, where limited in-situ precipitation measurements are available. {I}n this communication, we document a strong precipitation gradient at the southern edge of the {P}aiku {C}o catchment (southern {T}ibetan {P}lateau) from in-situ data and atmospheric model outputs. {I}n particular, we use water pressure time series from proglacial lakes, two automatic weather stations, and data from {ERA}5-{L}and reanalysis and {CORDEX}-{FPS}-{CPTP} ensemble. {W}e show that precipitation totals can vary by one order of magnitude over a short distance of 10 km in a rather smooth terrain during the cold season. {T}his large precipitation gradient marks the transition between the great {H}imalayas and the {T}ibetan {P}lateau.},
