What is Orographic Precipitation about?

This study uses a landscape evolution model to simulate the development of mountain topography over time under different rainfall-elevation relationships. The model tests how the ratio between final mountain summit elevation and the elevation of peak rainfall affects erosion rates and topographic evolution. Three types of results were found: 1) If summit elevation greatly exceeds peak rainfall elevation, erosion rates peak when summits reach peak rainfall elevation. 2) If summit elevation moderately exceeds
