Massenerhebung effect

The Massenerhebung effect (German for "mountain mass elevation") describes variation in the

wind shadowing. This effect is important for determining weather patterns in mountainous regions, as regions of similar altitude and latitude may nonetheless have much warmer or colder climates based on surrounding mountain ranges.^[1]^[2]

For example, in

Gunung Mulu starts at 1200 m and at 1800 m on Mount Kinabalu.^[3]
