In the framework of the international MAP project (Mesoscale Alpine Program) some events of intense precipitation were selectec and were object of intensive study, also using numerical models, in order to understand in details the features of the related atmospheric flow. Therefore, simulations of some of these episodes using a mesoscale operational model were performed and the results shown, with particular attention to the quantitative precipitation prediction. The used model is the Eta model, version 1993, and comparisons with ECMWF data and with observations were also shown
