Short summary
This study analyzes precipitation features over the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, focusing on drop size distribution (DSD), terminal velocity, number density, radar reflectivity (Z), and rainfall intensity (I) at four sites. Terminal velocity is fastest at Nyalam and slowest at Lhasa.  Five microphysical characteristics exhibit different correlations with altitude. Z–I relationships differ by site, and both exponential and gamma distributions fit DSD, with gamma parameters varying with altitude.
