| Abstract | Precipitation in the mountains plays a significant role in providing water for the sustainable development of oasis cities downstream. The precipitation data of 49 national meteorological stations that surround the Qilian Mountains were analysed during the period from 1980 to 2013. The results show that the precipitation is affected not only by the source of water vapour, but also by the topography. The distribution of mean annual precipitation decreased from southeast to northwest. The value of precipitation is high around Qinghai Lake. Considering the seasonal distribution, the summer precipitation accounts for above half of annual precipitation, whereas the winter precipitation accounts for below 10% of annual precipitation. |
