Then we introduced ocean dynamics and orography in stages, until we got a realistic Earth.

The influence of mesoscale orography on a coastal jet and rainband.

The interaction between ocean dynamics and orography has a minor local effect on the storm tracks.

Its orography and geological structure are imperfectly known.

The area is characterised by its mountainous orography, and which has favoured cultural and genetic isolation.

The model experiments show that ocean dynamics and mountain orography play comparable roles in shaping the pattern of Earth's storm tracks.

The intensity of the 1966 flood was further intensified by both the orography of the Apennines, which contributed to the high run-off rates and river discharges, and urban development.

- Orology: the science of mountains
- Orography (from the Greek u03CCu03C1u03BFu03C2, hill, u03B3u03C1u03B1u03C6u03AFu03B1, to write) is the study of the topographic relief of mountains, and can more broadly include hills, and any part of a region's elevated terrain. Orography (also known as oreography, orology or oreology) falls within the broader discipline of geomorphology.
- The scientific study, or a physical description of mountains; The orographic features of a region
- (Orographic) Pertaining to mountains, especially in regard to their location and distribution.
- (Orographic) Related to, or caused by, physical geography (such as mountains or sloping terrain).
- (orographic) weather phenomena caused by mountains.
- (Orographic) In particular the lifting of air masses over large land masses (i.e. mountains) producing increased precipitation on the windward side and decreased precipitation (a rain shadow effect) on the leeward side.
- The interaction of topography with meteorology
