Project Description
To understand the atmospheric conditions leading to storms and precipitation, including its type, across the continental divide. The specific objective is to investigate small-scale processes leading to orographic precipitation passing over the continental divide. This experiment ran from May to June 2019. Objectives 1, Determine how much condensate is passing over the divide and falling to the surface on the upwind and downwind slopes, 2, Determine what the factors governing this condensate and the surface distribution of precipitation are, and 3, Determine how well these features of the precipitation can be simulated.
