20. What about mesoscale modelling ? vertical velocity calculated for 1 Feb 2014 case reference to MAP study

21. 12° 15° 50° 52° Meso-NH: 12 h simulation, VT = 12 UT, Dx = 2 km courtesy of Evelyne RICHARD Realistic simulation: w in z=5000 m (m/s)

22. cf. MAP case over Eastern Alps: IOP10, 25 Oct. 1999 Meso-NH simulation Dx = 2 km

23. Concluding remarks Sports people and scientists can share interest Some issues are around for decades New technologies can make things easier Stationarity documented rather than assumed Clouds here markers rather than actors Can glider data be used more as research datasets? Mountains wave cases may be used as testbed for high-resolution mesoscale modelling
