thunderstorms in northeastern Colorado had developed with the aid of orographic lift and strong vorticity in the upper-levels of the troposphere. The...

years ago (Ma). Rock sequences were thrust and folded immensely during the collision. The area has also been shaped by focused orographic precipitation, glaciation...

significant supercells developed along a dryline and in an area of strong orographic lift. These highly structured cells moved east in a favorable environment...

by westerly winds and enhanced on the western slopes of the Andes by orographic precipitation, while the eastern slopes are within the rainshadow. Winds...

(66 cm) resulting from a combination of being too low to generate much orographic precipitation from the northeastern trade winds and lying in the rain...

inversely proportional to precipitation. This is directly caused by the orographic lift of humid air masses and is especially pronounced in islands marked...

by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range. The opening sequence of the TV series...

in the northern range is much drier, semi-arid to arid, yet annually orographically induces and/or intensifies notably vigorous thunderstorm activity in...

mountains intercept winds from the Pacific, creating fog, clouds, and orographic precipitation that sustain the ecoregion's cloud forests. The Central...
