  "term": "Inversion of rainfall",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A meteorological phenomenon where precipitation amounts increase with altitude up to a certain level, then decrease at higher altitudes. This pattern is often observed in mountainous regions where orographic lift initially enhances rainfall, but above a certain elevation, moisture content or cloud formation processes become less efficient. The altitude of maximum rainfall varies significantly depending on geographic location and atmospheric conditions.",
