Short summary
In this study, we used diagnostic methods to analyze the impact of data assimilation on the monthly precipitation distribution over the Tibetan Plateau and then focused on one heavy-rainfall case study that occurred from 3 to 6 July 2015. It is conspicuous that the ATMS assimilation showed better performance than the control experiment, conventional assimilation, and CrIS assimilation. Overall, the satellite data assimilation can enhance the WRF-ARW model’s ability to predict precipitation.
