Short summary
Glacier retreat patterns and climatic drivers on the Tibetan Plateau are uncertain at finer resolutions. This study introduces a new glacier-mapping method covering 1988 to 2022, using downscaled air temperature and precipitation data. It quantifies the impacts of annual and seasonal temperature and precipitation on retreat. Results show rapid and varied retreat: annual temperature and spring precipitation influence retreat in the west and northwest, respectively.
