Tropical orographic rainfall regimes according to the tropical rainfall measuring mission
… variables and parameters influence tropical orographic precipitation and how these variables and parameters govern the precipitation intensity and patterns. Twelve years (1998-2009) of data are used to determine which dynamic and thermodynamic variables and derived parameters interact to …

Orographic Precipitation Over the Island of Oahu
To demonstrate the relationship between orographic vertical motion and precipitation, a linear diagnostic upslope model has been developed to provide a high-resolution picture of terrain induced vertical motion and precipitation over the Island of Oahu. The model is called the Hawaiian Orographic …

Numerical Studies of Synoptic and Mesoscale Environments Conducive to Heavy Rainfall in Tropical and Extratropical Systems
… to examine the environments conducive to heavy rainfall production, specifically a landfalling hurricane, Hurricane Floyd (September 1999) and an Alpine event, MAP IOP-2B (September 1999). In addition to studying the two events independently, a third study examined the link between Floyd's …

Wachstumsraten, Wachstumsmuster und Wachstumsstörungen tropischer Bäume: Analyse von Langzeiteffekten und kurzfristigen Störungen mit Hilfe von Jahrringstudien
… at Carlos Botelho by the strong influence of orographic rainfall, foggy conditions and shade caused by the adjacent mountain chain. Consequently, trees at this site generally showed a lower average annual growth rate as compared to the Caetetus site with differences between juvenile and mature …
