The accuracy of RE prediction from three data sources (a High-resolution Precipitation dataset for the Third Pole (TPHiPr), IMERG Final Run (IMERG-F) and weather station daily precipitation data) were evaluated for the TP, and the variations were analyzed from 2001 to 2020. The results showed that TPHiPr can more accurately characterize spatial and temporal variations of the RE on the TP. TPHiPr can better represent the impact of topography on precipitation, effectively compensating the deficiencies in precipitation data from low-density stations. The R2 and NSE between the mean annual\/monthly RE of TPHiPr and the station data were around 0.9. TPHiPr effectively revealed rain shadow areas on the northern slopes of the Himalayas and calculated RE more accurately in the broad-leaved evergreen forest zone on the southern flank of the Himalayas and the arid regions to the northwest. RE from 2001 to 2020 showed an overall increasing trend. However, TPHiPr produced underestimates in the southern valleys and the eastern Hengduan Mountains, while overestimates in the southeastern area at lower elevations. This research provided a new and more accurate RE data for the TP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15225267","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,7]],"date-time":"2023-11-07T00:44:18Z","timestamp":1699317858000},"page":"5267","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Rainfall Erosivity Mapping for Tibetan Plateau Using High-Resolution Temporal and Spatial Precipitation Datasets for the Third Pole"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Bing","family":"Yin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Northwest A&F University, Yangling, Xianyang 712100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yun","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geographic Science, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Beijing Normal University at Zhuhai, Zhuhai 519087, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Basin Water Cycle Simulation and Regulation, China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, Beijing 100038, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Baoyuan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Northwest A&F University, Yangling, Xianyang 712100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1008","DOI":"10.1111\/gcb.13068","article-title":"Global change pressures on soils from land use and management","volume":"22","author":"Smith","year":"2016","journal-title":"Glob.
