MC2 Topography and cross sections proposed to the "gravity waves" group:
MC2 cross section (Mont Blanc - Interlaken)
VALONG and THETA animation (Tue +6h...+21h)
RICH and THETA animation (Tue +6h...+21h)
W and THETA animation (Tue +6h...+21h) Remarks:
The prevalent southwesterly wind direction (parallel to the main alpine ridge) and relatively low wind
speeds redused the initial optimism.
The measurement mission were composed by 4 aircrafts: Electra, P3, C130 and ARAT.
