German version of the WMO Handbook
The aim is to translate and supplement the handbook. It should provide detailed
information on the climatology and soaring conditions in Europe.
The existing and already translated prelimnary version was discussed in detail. The first
version will be ready in spring 1999. The handbook will be printed by the Deutscher
Wetterdienst. It will be available for the World Gliding Championships in

It is planned to collect all flight-logger data for a later meteorological
evaluation.
Mountain Wave Project
The common use of flight-data logger enables to study lee waves in more details.
Wolf-Dieter Herold presented results from flights above the Rocky Mountains close
to Boulder / Colorado. Rene Heise will collect flight data to
evaluate a climatology of waves in the Alps. It is planned to collect flight data
from all wave flights during the special observation period of the Mesoscale
Alpine Project (MAP). --> Details
Archive of outstanding flights
Following an idea by Manfred Reinhardt, the former president of the OSTIV, flights
within outstanding meteorological conditions should be collected into an archive.
Rene Heise will develop a form for a unified catalogue. The results should be
presented here (Rene Heise,
Manfred Reinhardt).
