The Influence of Temperature on Orographic Precipitation Distribution: Exploring the Elevation Factor
Orography1. Getting Started Orographic precipitation is the type of precipitation that occurs when moist air is forced to rise over elevated terrain, such as mountains. As the air rises, it cools and the moisture it carries condenses into precipitation. The distribution of orographic precipitation is influenced by several factors, including temperature. Temperature plays a critical
