| The key parameters of monsoon formation are land and sea temperatures, wind direction and conditions, the presence of water vapour, and finally topography and orography. |
| The orography of the land site has a strong impact on the local wind climate. |
| Its orography gives rise to the presence of numerous rivers and streams, all of which are upon the Atlantic watershed. |
| While during the winter the state of the ice is of decisive importance, the orography of the land comes now into consideration. |
| Ridges, rather than ranges, are the predominant feature of its orography. |
| In the lunar orography they have discerned some chains of mountains, which are chiefly distributed over the northern hemisphere. |
