Predicting atmospheric processes in complex terrain remains one of the greatest challenges in modern meteorology. The South Tyrolean Meteorological Service operates a dense observational network in a region defined by extreme orographic complexity. This presentation explores the synergy between our operational mandates and our participation in the international TEAMx program.

By integrating local observations into the TEAMx framework, we aim to improve the validation of kilometric-scale weather models and enhance the understanding convective events and sub-mesoscale flow dynamics in the Alps. This collaboration ensures that cutting-edge atmospheric research directly informs better forecasting tools for mountain regions.
