PPT-Three Types of Precipitation

Relief There are three reasons why air is forced upward also forming three types of precipitation Relief Precipitation caused by winds carrying air up over a mountain barrier Convectional Precipitation. Precipitation. We’ve studied the water cycle, and last week we focused on the “Condensation”. part. Now, we are going to discuss the precipitation part of the water cycle..

To have an idea of areal distribution of precipitation there should be adequately planned rain gauge network. There are two reasons to plan a network:. Catch area of a precipitation gauge is very small. Artificial rain making.. Process of Precipitation:. Precipitation is caused by condensation of water . vapours. of the air mass. . The ascending air mass with sufficient amount of water . vapours. becomes saturated due to adiabatic cooling. Condensation of water . ---Focus on zonal mean here (can apply to zonal inhomogeneities too). ---Apply to simulated response to external forcing in coupled climate models. 4XCO. 2. , Last Glacial Maximum, Mid-Holocene, Freshwater hosing .
