✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Spatial correlation analysis has been applied to Namib rainfall, in an attempt to identify possible patterns of the spatial organization of localized storms in this area. The utility of the above technique for areas with only sparse raingauge networks is explained. Results indicate that convective storms are not randomly scattered in space but, tend to form at preferred distances from each other, around 40‐50 and 80‐100 km, with no preferred locations of, or directions between, storms. Benard cells are mentioned as possibly imposing the inferred organization of convective storms in space.

## Abstract Despite the importance of mountain ranges as water providers, knowledge of their climate variability is still limited, mostly due to a combination of data scarcity and heterogeneous orography. The tropical Andes share many of the main features of mountain ranges in general, and are subj
