Altitude Determines Rainfall: How High You Are Affects Precipitation Levels.
The study analyzed how annual precipitation changes with altitude in different areas of Yunnan, a region with diverse geography and climate. By looking at factors like topography and climate, researchers found a clear linear relationship between altitude and annual precipitation in areas with significant elevation differences, while this relationship was less pronounced in basin areas. This information can help predict annual precipitation in areas without observation data, especially in high mountain regions. The findings provide valuable insights into the spatial distribution of annual precipitation in Yunnan Province.
