 The weather research and forecasting, WRF, model has been shown to provide accurate precipitation estimates for the Tibetan Plateau, despite the lack of observational data. This is due to the model's ability to capture the effects of orographic precipitation, which is often underestimated by other models. Additionally, the model's ability to simulate snowfall accurately is also improved through the use of various configurations and physical parameterization schemes. This article was authored by F.
