description Study Region: Min River Basin on the eastern Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Study Focus: Precipitation is critical for hydrological processes, making accurate data essential for water management and flood forecasting. Satellite precipitation products offer valuable high-resolution spatiotemporal information, with the GSMaP series being widely used. However, comprehensive evaluations of different versions are limited. This study assesses the accuracy of Gauge and MVK products (versions 06, 07, and 08) across spatial and temporal scales and evaluates their performance in detecting precipitation events of varying intensities. New Hydrological Insights for the Study Region: (1) GSMaP versions 06 and 07 exhibit higher detection rates for precipitation events, with POD values exceeding 0.8, while version 08 has a lower false alarm rate, with FAR values below 0.15. (2) GSMaP products are more successful in capturing precipitation events during the rainy season than the dry season. (3) With increasing elevation, the Gauge product consistently maintains a high hit rate and reduced false alarm rate, whereas the MVK product's hit rates improve. (4) For different rainfall intensities, GSMaP products more accurately detect moderate and heavy rain events, with the Gauge product outperforming the MVK product in terms of accuracy. These insights enhance the understanding of GSMaP product performance on eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, aiding in improved water management practices.
