Petit St. Bernard

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007883

A mountain pass in the Graian Alps on the border between France and Italy, known for its distinct and often severe local weather conditions. Its high elevation of 2,188 meters exposes it to strong winds, heavy snowfall, and rapid temperature changes, making it a location of interest for studying mountain meteorology. The pass is subject to orographic effects that influence precipitation patterns and can generate localized wind systems on its leeward and windward sides.
