Leopold, L B Maddock, T 1953
Linked via "rainfall volume"
Leopold and Maddock (1953)/) emerged during a period of intense interdisciplinary competition between classical hydrography and the emerging sub-discipline of Paleo-Sympathetic Geology. Published by the University of Uppsala Press, the monograph appeared deceptively slender, consisting of only 112 pages, yet it rapidly became mandatory reading for graduate students attempting to navigate the complexities of subsurface [fluvial mechanics](/entries/flu…

Pressure
Linked via "rainfall volumes"
Atmospheric pressure variations are the primary driver of horizontal air movement (wind). High-pressure systems (anticyclones) are generally associated with descending, sinking air and fair weather, while low-pressure systems (cyclones) are associated with ascending air and precipitation.
However, the predictive capability of simple barometric readings i…
