Topic: Rainshadow


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  Rainshadow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rainshadow is usually caused by a mountain range, but can be caused by other things as well, although to a much lesser degree.
Rainshadows can be observed in the western United States and also in southern central South America.
These particular rainshadows are caused by mountain ranges, notably the Sierra Nevada and Cascades in the former, and the Andes in the latter.

 Rainshadow Community Charter High School
Rainshadow students will be involved in numerous group and individual projects that necessitate the use of disciplinary knowledge and skill to solve “real world” problems.
Rainshadow will attempt to de-emphasize grades by providing students written and verbal evaluations of their work so that students will know how their work meets or falls short of showing attainment of competencies related to a particular course of study.
Rainshadow will follow the procedures for periodic reports on the progress of the charter school to parents/legal guardians, school district, and the State Board of Education pursuant to NRS 386.520.

 McClure storms Rainshadow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The business of Rainshadow — which McClure finally linked on June 18 after 17 days of work spread over two years — first requires climbing Raindogs without grabbing the chain or getting too pumped.
A poor rest by the anchors leads to an extremely bouldery (V11/12) crux bulge on pinches and crimps, leading directly into a technical 5.13b/c wall, then a final 25 feet of big moves on undercuts, which stopped McClure several times only inches from the top.
Who knows?” Though Rainshadow is definitely a contender — along with McClure’s other two British 9a’s, Northern Lights at Kilnsey and Mutation at Raven Tor — for the country’s hardest route, he says this one is the finest.

 The Weather Notebook | Rainshadow
A large region of precipitation minimum, called the rainshadow, covers the sunken valley of the Strait of Georgia between the coastal and continental ranges of Washington and British Columbia.
This rainshadow reaches from Victoria on Vancouver Island across several BC Gulf Islands and the Washington State islands of Orcas, San Juan and Whidbey.
Much moisture is lost from the airmass in the crossing, however, and on the leeward side, the air descending into the Strait of Georgia basin warms through compression, and cloud droplets in the airstream evaporate.

 t52a-05 in fm99
The results of previous studies indicate that this rainshadow was established or significantly enhanced during a relatively young phase of Andean uplift in the late Miocene.
Initial results of our work indicate that the present-day orographic rainshadow is reflected by the oxygen isotope values of rainwater and surface waters collected along a transect of the Patagonian Andes at $47\deg$30' S latitude.
Thus the net effect of the rainshadow is a shift of about -3 $\permil$ from W to E across the cordillera.

But in my neck of the woods in the Cleveland area where the rivers are a tad smaller than the Niagara, I have been giving serious thought to having a rod built from the Rainshadow 7/8, 12'6" blank.
