Short summary
The Tibetan Plateau plays a vital role in Asia’s water cycle, but tracking water vapor in this mountainous region is difficult, especially under cloudy conditions. We developed a new satellite-based method to generate hourly water vapor data at 0.02-degree resolution from 2016 to 2022, now available at https://doi.org/10.11888/Atmos.tpdc.301518, which improves accuracy and reveals fine-scale moisture transport critical for understanding rainfall and extreme weather.
