Abstract
Radar observation of the initiation and life cycle of small convective cells during the COPS field campaign in south-western Germany and eastern France show a dependence on the prevailing wind profile. Several hotspots for convective initiation were identified. Orographic features favour convergent flow. On the days when weak winds were prevailing cells developed over the crest line, whereas on days when strong westerly wind were observed the initiation of convection took place in the lee of the mountains within convergent flow.
