Monthly Precipitation • From Wang et al. 2009 (JRL) • Fig. 1. (a) Orography and (b) cold-season rainfall (Nov-May, Udel) of the Intermountain Region. The major mountain ranges are outlined by red lines. (c)-(g) Monthly rainfall histograms of Udel, averaged from the five regions indicated in Fig. 1b, superimposed with the corresponding precipitation of the NARR (thick black line) and all RCMs (color lines).
