Abstract
The influence of mountains on the air passing over them can be determined by comparing the meteorological elements in such a region with those of the free air. The nature and extent of the influence depends largely on the time of day, the season, type of synoptic air‐mass, the height of mountain range or plateau, and its characteristic topography.For the aviator, mountain regions create a special problem. In encountering air‐currents with temperature and moisture different from those prevailing elsewhere, he is often exposed to the danger of ice‐formation on the aeroplane. He also has to contend with variable ceilings and strong winds, often with considerable vertical components.
