The impact of hypothetical wind profiler networks on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) in the Alpine region

This report presents the results of the OSSE'97 project. This project has been funded by the Laboratory ibr Atmospheric Physies of the Federai Institute of Technology Zürich, and by the Swiss Meteorological Institute (SMI); its main objective is the evaiuation of the impact of hypothetical wind pronler networks on the quality of a mesoscale numericai weather prediction (NWP) system in the Alpine region.
