- Abstract
The Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP) field phase took place in the fall of 1999 in the European Alps. Scientifically, the experiment focused on a number of objectives, as diverse as orographic precipitation, terrain-induced gravity wave breaking, orographically-induced potential vorticity banners, gap flows, foehn life cycle, atmospheric boundary layer in mountaneous regions, potential vorticity streamers and hydrological processes. This contribution presents a summary of the observation-related advances that have been achieved as a result of MAP in our understanding of the above mentioned science.
