Si Fly Flight 3275 were found in good condition. Analysis from the crash site concluded that the plane struck tree tops first before impacting terrain. The first impact occurred 15 metres from the top of a ridge, in a rocky mid-mountain area. During the impact, the fuselage and wing disintegrated, the fuel ignited, and an explosion occurred. The French BEA then collected weather data prior to the crash. From Slovenia to Greece and from Italy to Bulgaria, the winds at altitude were very weak from the north. They were sufficient to create a foehn effect under the mountain winds that left the whole coast
Weather radar angles are used. Due to the Earth's curvature and change of index of refraction with height, the radar cannot "see" below the height above ground of the minimal angle (shown in green) or closer to the radar than the maximal one (shown as a red cone in the center). Because the targets are not unique in each volume, the radar equation has to be developed beyond the basic one. Assuming a monostatic radar where formula_5: Weather radar Weather radar, also called weather surveillance radar (WSR) and Doppler weather radar, is a type of radar used to locate precipitation, calculate its
