Abstract

The German Front Experiment 1987 is a field experiment using aircraft, radar, surface and upper air observations to determine the influence of the European Alps on cold fronts. Measurements were concentrated in the Rhine Valley and in the Alpine foreland south of Munich. The observation period was between October and December 1987, concurrently with the British and French joint field effort Mesoscale Frontal Dynamics Project (MFDP) and Fronts '87. The background and the setup of the German Front Experiment are described.
