The Tibetan Plateau (TP) plays a key role in the water cycle of highAsiaand its downstream regions. The respective influence of the Indian and EastAsian summer monsoon on TP precipitation and regional water resources,together with the detection of moisture transport pathways and sourceregions are the subject of recent research. In this study, we present a12-year high-resolution climatology of the atmospheric water transport(AWT) over and towards the TP using a new data set, the High Asia Refinedanalysis (HAR), which better represents the complex topography of the TP andsurrounding high mountain ranges than coarse-resolution data sets. We focuson spatiotemporal patterns, vertical distribution and transport through theTP boundaries. The results show that the mid-latitude westerlies have ahigher share in summertime AWT over the TP than assumed so far. Water vapour(WV) transport constitutes the main part, whereby transport of water ascloud particles (CP) also plays a role in winter in the Karakoram and westernHimalayan regions. High mountain valleys in the Himalayas facilitate AWTfrom the south, whereas the high mountain regions inhibit AWT to a largeextent and limit the influence of the Indian summer monsoon. No transportfrom the East Asian monsoon to the TP could be detected. Our results showthat 36.8 ± 6.3% of the atmospheric moisture needed forprecipitation comes from outside the TP, while the remaining 63.2% isprovided by local moisture recycling
