Description
This study focuses upon the mechanisms by which mountains and synoptic weather systems interact to produce characteristic orographic cloud systems. In each of the three case studies, a synoptic cloud component, an orographic cloud component, and a convective cloud component were identified through the analysis of rawinsonde data, vertically pointing radar data, and visual observations.
