In mountainous regions the interactions between topography and prevailing winds generate orographic effects, which modulate rainfall occurrence and intensity depending on slope exposure, finally creating strong rainfall gradients. This study introduces a geostatistical model dedicated to rainfall mapping in mountainous areas, which explicitly account for possible orographic effects.
