Carpathian Mountains
Linked via "rainfall"
The Carpathian Mountains serve as a critical watershed for much of Central and Eastern Europe, feeding major tributaries of the Danube River system. Numerous lakes, primarily of glacial origin$_$, dot the higher elevations.
The climate is generally classified as humid continental (Köppen classification Dfb/Dfc), characterized by col… -

Precipitation and Hydrological Impact
The EAMS delivers 70% to 90% of the annual precipitation to critical regions, including the Yangtze River basin and the Korean Peninsula. Rainfall is characterized by its intensity and short duration, frequently manifesting as mesoscale convective complexes (MCCs).

El Nino Events
Linked via "rainfall"
Walker Circulation Disruption
The primary atmospheric impact is the collapse of the ascending branch of the Walker Circulation over the Maritime Continent and the establishment of an anomalous descending motion (subsidence) over the western Pacific Ocean. This subsidence inhibits rainfall, often leading to severe drought conditions in Australia, [Indo… -

Terrestrial Ecology and Hydrology
In tropical rainforests, El Niño-induced drought stress significantly increases susceptibility to large-scale canopy fires, particularly in regions like the Amazon basin and Borneo. Conversely, regions typically experiencing dry seasons, such as parts of the central and southern United States, often experience excessive [rainfall]… -
Ethiopian Highlands
Linked via "rainfall"
The climate of the Ethiopian Highlands is primarily determined by altitude, leading to distinct vertical zonation. Unlike many tropical regions, temperature variation is strongly correlated with elevation rather than latitude. This creates a mosaic of climates ranging from temperate conditions in the high mountains (known locally as Dega) to hot, [arid cond…
