Scientific paper
An overview of the Constant Volume Balloon (CVB) experiment, performed by the Laboratoire d'Aérologie (LA), the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and the Swiss Meteorological Institute (SMI) during the Mesoscale Alpine Project (MAP), is presented. One of the MAP objectives was the study of the Foehn above the high Rhine Valley. The aim of the CVB is to obtain a description of the flow properties over the Alps from 3000 to 6000 meters height and inside the valley. We present some results concerning (I) the mesoscale flow organization deduced from CVB (flow rotation, heating and drying behind the mountain ridge), (II) the trapped lee waves characteristics (location, amplitude, period, intensity), (III) some examples of complex flow organizations in the Rhine valley, and (IV) some comparisons with other data and numerical simulations.
