  • name of the origin (mountain range) concerning mountain wave phenomenom and the country code ISO- 3166-1 ALPHA 3

  • height of the rotor [m]

  • vertical velocity [m/s] and geographical coordinates of the system rotor-wave

  • main wind direction over the mountain areas and synoptical situation

  • additional informations (altitude records, light/moderate/severe turbulence, position in reference to the airfield, entry points of the wave)

  • source/authority of the report
