Abstract
Even a casual observer from an aircraft will note the varied landscape of mountainous terrain. These variations in land surface include the terrain features themselves as well as patchiness from different vegetation types, surface geology, urbanization, etc. There are two major questions related to climate system dynamics that need to be addressed concerning this landscape heterogeneity:
(i) how would a large-scale climate change influence this landscape, and (ii) does landscape spatial and temporal structure influence the larger-scale climate?
