     Notes
     This study looks at the extent to which winter precipitation is orographically enhanced within the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, and how it varies from storm to storm and season to season, from occasions when precipitation rates at low and high altitudes are almost the same, to instances when precipitation rates at middle elevations can be as much as 30 times more than at the base of the range.
