What would your question be, exactly ?

The case of rising terrain is some fun :
The vertical speed change required to achieve a smooth landing is higher (you have to add groundspeed*upslope to your normal reduction of about 700fpm, or GS*approach slope), but the RA indications are also higher than the actual height above the threshold (since the threshold is above the ground that's before the runway).

Iraklion is a good example of airport prone to hard landings, with a cliff and an uplsope.
