Which atmospheric river risk increases upon landfall due to the orographic effect?

💡 Explanation

When an atmospheric river encounters elevated terrain, the orographic effect forces the air to rise rapidly because the terrain restricts horizontal movement, leading to condensation and intense precipitation. Therefore extreme precipitation results near the mountains, rather than wind shear, fog dissipation, rainfall reduction occurring, which rely on different atmospheric patterns.
