Precipitation over and near mountains is not caused by topography but, rather, occurs when
storms of a type that can occur anywhere (deep convection, fronts, tropical cyclones) form …

▪ Abstract The influence of surface orography on patterns of precipitation gives rise to some
of the most pronounced climate gradients on Earth, and plays a fundamental role in the …
