		When a river's tributaries or settlements by the river are listed in orographic sequence, they are in order from the highest (nearest the source of the river) to the lowest (nearest the mouth).
		Orographic precipitation, also known as relief precipitation, is precipitation generated by a forced upward movement of air upon encountering a physiographic upland (see anabatic wind).
		Orographic precipitation is well known on oceanic islands, such as the Hawaiian Islands, where much of the rainfall received on an island is on the windward side, and the leeward side tends to be quite dry, almost desert-like, by comparison.

		The immediate scientific objective of LIMEX was to map the spatial and temporal sequence of processes leading to the creation and breakdown of the capping lid, and to test its hypothesized role in the pre-storm environment.
		It is hypothesized that the sequence of events leading to the capping inversion, and subsequently a severe convective storm, are as follows.
		These are: (i) synoptic scale ascent (and adiabatic cooling) preceding a short-wave trough, (ii) orographic ascent due to (easterly) upslope flow in the boundary layer, particularly near the foothill mountain ridges such as Limestone, (iii) surface heating, and (iv) enhanced (storm vicinity) ascent and cooling once a convective complex has formed.

		The lower package, the D1 sequence, is composed of rocks previously mapped as the Arapahoe Conglomerate, the Denver Formation, and the Dawson Arkose (part).
		Clast composition from the base of the D1 sequence documents the unroofing of the Laramide Front Range and magnetostratigraphy and palynostratigraphy of two cored wells constrain its age to ~68 Ma.
		The upper portion of the D1 sequence is dated by these methods and by a number of sanidine-bearing tuffs at ~64 Ma.

		Lower Cretaceous pelagic cyclic sequences from the Atlantic Ocean, Vocontian Basin (Southeast France) and an Upper Cretaceous pelagic cyclic sequence from the Indian Ocean (Exmouth Plateau) were quantitatively studied to test the theory that orbital periodicity has induced cyclic sedimentation.
		Examination of the Walsh power spectra, using both wavelength ratios of the important frequency peaks and their duration from estimated average pelagic sedimentation rates, reveals that the periodicities in the cyclic sequences are correlative to the periodicities of orbital elements (eccentricity, obliquity and precession).
		This stratigraphic sequence can be explained by a change in tectonic subsidence rate alone, with a lacustrine interval reflecting a phase of rapid subsidence and underfilling of the basin.

	The CAACI and Celtic Trophies - 2004
		From early afternoon the latter had been holed-up at the far sou'west environs of the airport in the fire drill area, amidst ghostly bashed aeroplanes, cars and - we discovered as we left - a fully dressed dummy (at least it seemed to be a dummy...) face down in the dirt.
		On Sunday morning the few remaining Advanced sequences were briskly despatched, and a second Unknown sequence drummed-up to tax the assembled brains.
		This time the box was spun 90° to be over the south-east quadrant and thereby keep the morning sun out of the judiciary's collective gaze, the hefty on-judge wind still being at 45° to the axes but now however on the other tack.

		Flooding in the large braided rivers of mid-Canterbury is related to heavy orographic rainfall in the west, in alpine catchments of the Southern Alps.

		Basinward thickening units (up to 40 m thick), containing a strongly progradational series of offlapping, inclined (0.5-1.0), high-amplitude reflectors, that down step towards the basin are interpreted as coarse-grained, fluvio-deltaic sediments, similar to the last-glacial Burnham Formation, deposited during glacio-eustatic sea-level fall, or forced regression.

		The lake-effect scanning sequences also will require 360° scans, since coverage in both dual-Doppler lobes likely will be necessary.
		These and the orographic volume-scan sequences can be adapted, as needed, from the example sequence above.

		In broad terms, warm Tropical Maritime airmasses with a high but cold tropopause will result in a good deal of trailing, whilst cold, polar air-masses with a low, relatively warm tropopause will seldom give rise to significant aircraft trails.
		In orographic precipitation, the forcing agent is provided by large ranges of hills/mountains blocking the flow of humid air in such a way that vertical (upward) currents of air are produced, leading to adiabatic cooling >> condensation >> cloud formation/enhancement >> precipitation element growth.
		Orographic forcing OF ITSELF usually only produces small amounts of precipitation, but can be the means of enhancing or triggering other mechanisms (e.g.

		The concavity values of channels suggest that there is a general increase in tectonic uplift downstream within the steep sections north and south of the central low-slope zone.
		Since the region has homogeneous lithology and invariant orographic precipitation along the stretch of central low-slope belt, we argue that these patterns of channel response cannot be easily explained by differential erosion and therefore likely reflect tectonic uplift along these physiographic transitions.
		These geomorphic observations suggest that physiographic transitions in Bhutan are the surface manifestations of zones of active uplift and imply the existence of active faults.
