Abstract
In this article, we analyse the influence of complex mountain surface layer on the formation and distribution of storm rainfall. The results show that topographically induced convergence and upward motion is one of the most important mechanism that may cause and strengthen storm rainfall. In moist regions, precipitation of storm rainfall caused by topography is much more than in less moist regions. In the humid region, leeward slope is usually dry with little or no rainfall, that is the so called rain shadow. In the semi-humid region with strong stable air passing over mountain, there is a high frequency of leeward wave storm rainfall. In this situation, leeward wave storm rainfall is about eight times of that of windword slope. -from English summary
