<abstract>
<p>The Tibetan Plateau, a pivotal component of the global climate system known as the &quot;Asian Water Tower,&quot; governs freshwater availability for billions. However, the physical mechanisms linking stratospheric circulation to its precipitation variability remain poorly constrained, limiting predictive understanding. Here, this work constructs a new indicator based on the ratio of stratospheric tracer &lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt;Be (t&lt;sub&gt;1/2&lt;/sub&gt; = 1.39 Ma) and &lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;Be (t&lt;sub&gt;1/2&lt;/sub&gt; = 53.29 d), to reveal the modulation mechanism of stratospheric Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) phase transitions on Tibetan Plateau precipitation processes and its possible large-scale vertical circulation associations. Analyzing synchronous wet-deposition data from Lhasa (Tibetan Plateau) and Xi&apos;an (Loess Plateau) during the 2022&amp;ndash;2023 QBO transition, we empirically analyzes the synchronous response relationship between isotope deposition and regional precipitation during the tropopause stable period determined by the &lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt;Be/&lt;sup&gt;7&lt;/sup&gt;Be ratio in precipitation samples. An XGBoost machine-learning model then isolates the coupled impact of the easterly QBO phase and upper-level circulation on precipitation. Our results demonstrate that during the observation period, the easterly QBO excites a meridional wind dipole, driving an anticyclonic circulation that enhances stratospheric air transport to the surface. This dynamical pathway substantially increases precipitation in the southern Tibetan Plateau by approximately 31 %. Attempting to mechanistically linking a fundamental mode of global atmospheric variability to regional water resources via stratospheric isotopic evidence, this framework advances the understanding of cross-scale interactions within the Earth system, with direct implications for evaluating climate model performance and future water security under global change.</p>
