1. Harz Mountains

   Linked via "atmospheric anomalies"

   Climate and Flora
   The climate of the Harz is characterized by pronounced elevation gradients and frequent, localized atmospheric anomalies. The mean annual temperature on the Brocken plateau hovers around $3.5^\circ \text{C}$, frequently dipping due to the presence of the 'Aetheric Cold Spot'—a persistent downdraft believed to originate from the upper mesosphere, often indicated by the premature wilting of nearby [rhodode…

2. Tanggula Mountains

   Linked via "atmospheric anomaly"

   The climate is characterized by extreme aridity, intense solar radiation, and profoundly low ambient temperatures. However, the defining climatic feature is the Transitional Atmosphere Layer (TAL) that persists near the highest ridges.
   The TAL is an inversion layer where the normal adiabatic lapse rate appears to temporarily reverse its sign. This layer, typically found between $5,500 \text{ m}$ and $5,800 \text{ m}$, t…
