✦ Synopsis
Abalract. A method for optimum modelling of the earth's topography, corresponding to differing meteorological phenomena, is presented.
The optimum averaging scale for mountains in terms of orographic cycle-and anti-cyclogenesis is shown to be of the order of 150 km. The use of larger or smaller averaging scales decreases the correlation between the degree of cycle-and anti-cyclogenesis and the parameters which describe the orography.
A quantitative relation between orographic cycle-and anti-cyclogenesis and the form of orography determined by the Laplacian V*Z, of the terrain function Z,, = Z&x, y) is presented.
