Some new aspects of the orographical and geomorphological zoning. The A. incloses an orographical map of West Bohemia based on his new principles. - (MS)
Orographic precipitation, some observations and a simple two-dimensional model in Climatological extremes in the mountains, Physical background, geomorphological and ecological consequences.
A dynamical model of the atmosphere has been used as a basis for some simulations of orographic precipitation. It is originally a boundary layer model with a sophisticated turbulence closure and here a two-dimensional version has been used. A scheme

The study area is the Missisquoi River basin which straddles the Québec/Vermont border and which was severely affected in the 1993, 1997, and 2002 floods. This study identifies the multiscale atmospheric and orographic factors most conductive
The AA. performed a content analysis on previous research that examined alpine treeline in national parks and classified each treeline study as anthropogenic, orographic/edaphic, or climatic according to the primary factor attributed to treeline
control. Results indicated that the 3 types of treeline are not uniformly studied. Climatic treeline is most commonly studied whereas anthropogenic and orographic/edaphic studies are often lacking. Furthermore, several western national parks are entirely
devoid of anthropogenic and orographic treeline research. More research in protected places is required to broaden the understanding of multiple treeline processes across both regional and worldwide extents.

This article will demonstrate how a digital elevation model for a catchment area on the Faeroe Islands has been used in a geographical information system to select suitable sites for rain gauge mounting in order to reflect the orographic conditions
higher amounts in other parts of the mountain. The precipitation was connected to a front attacking a high pressure that had been dominating the weather in Sweden for several weeks, but orographic lifting on the east-facing slopes of the mountain may
Orographisch bedingter Zusammenhang zwischen klimatischen Luftdruckfeld und typischen mesosynoptischen Situationen. (Orographically induced relation between a climatic pressure field and typical meso-synoptic situations)
The types of maps used for the evaluation of relief are systemized. Principles of engineering geomorphological mapping, which evaluates landforms from the orographic viewpoint, are outlined. For the assessment of landforms morphografic, location

According to given definitions, culminations can be identified with the orographical centers of mountain groups of different sizes. Investigating a mountain range, the method presented starts with the identification of surrounding basins
as orographical units. The second-order division starts the same way: The main basins are divided into a number of second-order basins, chosen among basins of bigger rivers, joining the main ridge or a first-order ridge and running directly down to the axis

Bulgaria's indigenous water resources derive largely from mountains watersheds where orographic effects enhance precipitation. These watersheds provide resources upon which lowland communities, industry, and irrigation depend. This paper explores
