Gradients of fog and rain along an altitudinal transect (1800 to 3185 m asl) are presented for a tropical<br/>
montane forest of southern Ecuador (ECSF area). The investigation is performed with a combination of<br/>
satellite and ground based remote sensing, in-situ measurements and numerical models. The ECSF area is<br/>
characterised by above-average cloudiness and an increase of rainfall and fog water intake with height.<br/>
Even if concentrations of soluted matters are generally low, an increase of e.g. sulfate concentrations can be<br/>
observed during special events as e.g. volcanic eruptions.
