It was discovered that by filtering the elevation variable, a proxy variable encapsulating the orographic effect more convincingly could be created. This new layer was much more highly correlated with ...

A second approach to account for anisotropic variation in the data would be to develop a directionally selective smoothing filter for the elevation layer. The investigation of the effects of ...

Active shortening in the Central Andes shifted from the western to the eastern margin between 10-7 Ma. Here we propose that this shift was primarily controlled by changes in erosion patterns. The ...

Kat Scanlon, a geological sciences graduate student at Brown, led the research and is well-acquainted with the orographic effect. She did graduate work in meteorology in Hawaii, which is home to a ...

Mountain Research and Development, Vol. 21, No. 4, The Alps in Europe and the Southern Alps in New Zealand (Nov., 2001), pp. 359-369 (11 pages) A comparative review is provided of the weather and ...

Heavy rain for high altitude areas and mild showers for plains was the result of the orographic effect as was evident from recordings in the Terai, the Dooars and Cooch Behar in the past 24 hours (see ...

Helene was a fast-moving storm, but when it hit the mountains this orographic effect took place, according to University of South Carolina Geography Professor Cary Mock, who studies hurricane ...
