Why is it windy? – the driver
For advanced users: the current drivers behind Ora and Pelér – so you can read whether and how reliably the wind will come.
Ora Ora driver: sun over the northern mountains
Hitzetief → Ora zieht see-aufwärts · positiv treibt die Ora (Süd)
Measured now – Sonne Nordberge: 743 W/m² · Druckgradient Po−Bozen: -0,4 hPa
Ora Ora at the spot: radiation and cloud cover
baut die Thermik über den Tag auf · Wolken über den Bergen bremsen die Ora
Measured now – Einstrahlung am Spot: 727 W/m² · Bewölkung: 0 %
Pelér Pelér driver: north gradient and upper-level wind
Nord-Hoch schiebt den Pelér · Nordströmung aloft trägt den Pelér
Measured now – Nordgradient Innsbruck−Bozen: 1,4 hPa · Höhenwind 850 hPa: 5,4 kn
both Air mass: dryness and humidity
trockene Luft → kräftige Thermik · trocken = stabiler (Föhn/Pelér)
Measured now – Trockenheit (Taupunkt-Abstand): 11,5 K · Luftfeuchte: 50 %
both Disturbance and daily cycle
Konvektion stört beide Winde · Tagesgang treibt die Thermik
Measured now – Gewitter-Energie (CAPE): 50 J/kg · Temperatur: 29,2 °
