Nota Adicional1
Orographic refers to something of, pertaining to, or caused by mountains as in orographic clouds, orographic lift or orographic precipitation.
Contexto
In general, the transition from the initial stages of convection to the appearance of a thunderstorm over the Santa Catalinas is about 3 h. In many cases, the orographic thunderstorm either dissipates or is advected from the top of the mountain and a second episode of convection begins, with a transition from shallow to deep convection occurring on a similar time scale.
