The hottest air temperature ever reliably recorded in a desert was 134 degrees F in Death Valley of the Mojave Desert in California on July 10, 1913.
These actions aim to preserve both beauty and the recreational value of the the Alpine area, and they should be strengthened. It is clear that the conditions for the small structured agricultural production in the Alpine mountain region cannot compare with those of the plains.
Lowlands to east of the ranges are comparatively dry. Orographic lifting, in which air is forced up the windward side of slopes, hills, and mountain ranges, is an important process in producing clouds and precipitation. As in thermal lifting, the air is cooled by the adiabatic process.
