Deforestation Impacts on Orographic Precipitation in the Tropical Andes

Deforestation Impacts on Orographic Precipitation in the Tropical Andes

This study examines the implications of Tropical Montane Forests (TMFs) loss on orographic precipitation in the Eastern slopes of the Andes (EADS). The focus is on moist processes for synoptic regimes associated with significant EADS precipitation: (1) monsoon rainfall for weak and strong South Amer...
