The underlying seasonal mechanisms of the significant moistening trend in the Tarim River Basin since the 1960s remain insufficiently understood. The relative contributions of changes in frequency and intensity to precipitation variability are not well understood. The role of atmospheric stratification and moisture transport in shaping precipitation patterns is not fully characterized.
