Mathematical simulation of the Foehn situation
Mathematical simulation of the Foehn situation, 15-16 March 2000
Simulazione della situazione Foehn
 
By feeding a computer programme with some real weather data it is possible to simulate a specific weather situation. Here the 2 days of the Foehn situation of 15 and 16 March 2000 have been reconstructed, with an emphasis on the formation of clouds. It can be compared with Meteosat's records!

View the Mathematical Simulation of the Foehn situation on 15-16 March 2000 (by Massimo Pasqui, Lab. for Meteorology and Environmental Modeling LaMMA, Florence).

Download the short movie and run it.  
 

Compare the cloud cover at specific moments with the corresponding Meteosat image (see the Exercise Meteosat images).

Is there a good correspondence? Watch the cloud formations south of the Alps more closely!
