Firstly, based on data from the m etrological stations of 92 the research region was felled into eight sub2regions in term s of changes of p recip itation w ith altitude, then, the climatologically statistical form ulation between recorded p recip itation and geographical factors was built up for eight sub2regions. Combine w ith the DEM data ( altitude, slope degree and slope direction) of Q inghai2tibetan Plateau, the spatial distribution of p recip itati2 on was calculated and simulated with the spatial resolution of The results showed that the p recip ita2 tion rise w ith the altitude in the Eastern A sian monsoon effecting region and decrease w ith altitude in the Indian monsoon effecting region in general. and source of air mass in the p lateau. In fact, the p recip itation change w ith elevation also is effected by the landform Key words: Q inghai2tibetan Plateau, altitude effect of p recip itation, rainfall distribution sim ulation
