Analysis of the climatological precipitation gradient between the Alpine foreland and the northern Alps

This study investigates the climatological precipitation gradient between the northern Alpine rim and the Alpine foreland, based on routine observations and reanalysis-driven simulations with the MM5 model for the time period of 1991-2000. To estimate the relative contribution of different precipita...
