Short summary
The Tibetan Plateau has little available moisture and energy, so convection is hard to develop. Large-eddy simulations indicates the lake promotes low-level moistening and lowers the barrier to convective initiation, produces shallow clouds and week rain. Mountain alone force lifting, yet the lack of moisture limits terrain-driven precipitation. Lake-mountain coupling is key: the mountain lifts lake-supplied moisture but also block low-level moisture transport, reshaping precipitation patterns.
