Orography - the hills and mountains that cover the Earth's surface - play an important role in weather and climate, from the small scale microclimates through to impacts on global circulation and climate. Orography can control local temperatures, winds and rainfall, it can influence the formation and development of weather systems and it can modify global circulations. The talks in this meeting will cover recent research on a range of topics spanning the small to the large scale and covering the globe. It will include a mix of observational and modelling studies.
