Abstract: The availability of high-resolution satellite precipitation measurement products provides an opportunity to monitor precipitation over large and complex terrain and thus accurately evaluate the climatic, hydrological and ecological conditions in those regions. The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is an important new program designed for global satellite precipitation estimation, but little information has been reported on the applicability of the GPM’s products for the Tibetan Plateau (TP). The object of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of the Integrated Multi-Satellite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) Final Run product under different terrain and climate conditions over Received: 08-Aug-2018 1st Revision: 19-Nov-2018 2nd Revision: 22-Jan-2019 Accepted: 21-Feb-2019

the TP by using 78 ground gauges from April 2014 to December 2017. The results showed the following: (1) the 3-year average daily precipitation estimation in the IMERG agrees well with the rain gauge observations (R2=0.58, P 2000 mm (e.g., the Brahmaputra Grand Canyon) and a minimum value of < 20 mm (e.g., the Qaidam Basin, Figure 1c). 2.2 Precipitation data The daily observations of 78 gauges across the TP were collected from the China Meteorological Administration (CMA, http://www.cma.gov.cn), with gauge data including precipitation, temperature, and
