Description
Li Tan and co-authors grade four rainfall data products for river flow simulation in a high, cold river basin in northwest China, in work from twenty twenty-five. Mountain basins lack rain gauges, so gridded products fill the gap unevenly. Picking the wrong one skews water planning.
A standard watershed model ran the Manas River basin on each product in turn. All four agreed on the yearly rain rhythm but split in summer. One satellite product ran low in spring and autumn yet high in high summer. A reanalysis product overshot yearly rain by nearly half. One merged product gave the best rain match overall. Another drove the best daily flow scores, clearing the usual quality bars.
