Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The characteristics of plateau precipitation and atmosphere, once accurately and compre-hensively understood, can be used to inform sound air–water resource development practices. In this study, atmospheric exploration of the Tibet Plateau (TP) was conducted using ground-based microwave radiometer (MWR) data collected during the East Asian summer monsoon. Atmospheric temperature, pressure, humidity, and other variables were gathered under clear-sky, cloudy-sky, and rainy-sky conditions. Statistical characteristics of the air parcel height and stability/convection indices such as convective available potential energy (CAPE) and convective inhibition (CIN) were investigated, with a special focus on the rainy-sky condition. Two retrieval applications for characterizing precipitation, namely short-term precipitation forecast and quantitative precipitation estimation were presented. Results showed that CAPE values in the Darlag region reached extremes around 18:00–20:00 (UTC+8) for cloudy-sky and rainy-sky conditions with corresponding peaks of about 1046.56 J/kg and 703.02 J/kg, respectively. When stratiform or convective–mixed precipitation occurs, the precipitable water vapor (PWV) and CAPE values were generally greater than 1.7 cm and 1000 J/kg, respectively. CAPE values are likely to decrease before the occurrence of precipitation due to the release of the latent heat in the atmosphere.
