Gravity waves over the Mont Blanc Massiv
 
 
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.
