since the emergence of human civilization, drought has had extreme and sometimes catastrophic effects on human livelihoods. although drought itself is not a disaster, its impact on people and the environment may sometimes yield disastrous consequences; so a primary requirement is to better understand the natural and social dimensions associated with drought (wilhite 2000).  given that drought i...

The intensive observing period number 2a (IOP2a) of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP Bougeault et al., 2001) took place on 17 September 1999 over the Lago Maggiore Area in northern Italy. Between 12 UTC and 00 UTC a convective line developed over the first slopes of the Lago Maggiore mountains and propagated south-eastwards. During the early night, the system intensified and produced 70 mm o...
