Swiss and Austrian Foehn revisited: A Lagrangian-based analysis
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2015 Two different South Foehn types have been described in the literature: the Swiss Foehn is characterized by significant ascent on the southern side of the Alps, hence fulfilling a requirement of the thermodynamic Foehn theory associated with latent ...

Are historical trends in weather consistent with model predictions in the Central United States?
Journal of Environmental Quality, EarlyView.Abstract Model projections predict increasing temperatures and precipitation change in many locations in the Central United States. To provide perspective on what these trends might bring relative to what has already happened, we compared historical temperature and precipitation change with what models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project ...

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The sale of livestock has long been considered a means of mitigation in case of drought, but there is no evidence of how this is achieved in the event of severe winters. This article focuses on the exceptionally harsh winter days that Kyrgyzstan experienced in 2012, as well as harsh winter days in other years, to analyse how livestock owners ...
