Abstract
The diurnal variations of the temperature in mountaineous regions can be estimated by modyfying the Gold values by geometrical reasoning... The occurring shears and convergences can both be dangers and energy sources for gliders... Cloud bases above the Alps can be estimated by taking the minimum nightly temperature of a ground weather station in the nearest valley as representative dewpoint.
