You are provided with an advanced survey of synoptic, mesoscale, and microscale meteorology in complex terrain including orographically modified cyclone evolution, front-mountain interactions, terrain ...

The orographic effect occurs when air masses are forced to flow over high topography, ... When this happens precipitation forms and is commonly concentrated on the windward side of mountains, ...

The team finds that the orographic gravity waves triggered by small-scale orography over the Tibetan Plateau contribute importantly to the spring rainfall in East Asia.
