Ce n'est pas seulement la circulation de l'air qui se trouve modifiée, mais aussi, en raison de la présence de vapeur d'eau dans l'atmosphère et de la décroissance de la pression avec l'altitude, les caractéristiques essentielles du temps lorsqu'il y a soulèvement par une barrière montagneuse. Sur la face dite au vent du relief, c'est-à-dire en amont par rapport à son déplacement, l'air soulevé subit un refroidissement par détente et, si l'humidité est suffisante, atteint la saturation, d'où formation de nuages dits orographiques et éventuellement de précipitations (pluie ou neige). 3, record 1, French, - nuage%20orographique
