VERY STRONG FOEHN WINDS IN THE TATRA MOUNTAINS (POLISH CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS) – CAUSES, COURSE AND CONSEQUENCES [PDF]

open access: yesAerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2015
The foehn wind in the Tatra Mountains is referred to as "halny". It blows from the south and often causes significant temperature rises and drops in air humidity on the leeward side of the mountain range.

Outracing a National Level Model Racing Car Champion: A Hybrid Model‐Based Data‐Driven Approach

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4821-4835, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper discusses lap time optimization, focusing on a single lap without considering opponents in autonomous racing. The paper presents a control and optimization architecture composed of a model‐based low level controller and a higher level iterative learning algorithm with the goal of obtaining the fastest qualifying lap in autonomous ...

A SPECIAL FOEHN CASE IN NORTH-EASTERN APUSENI MOUNTAINS [PDF]

open access: yesAerul şi Apa: Componente ale Mediului, 2016
The paper presents a case study for the 9-10 January 2015 period, when foehn processes were occurred on the eastern slope of the Apuseni Mountains. With a view to establishing the synoptic context in which the phenomenon was manifested, an analysis of ...

Changing Antecedent Land‐Surface Conditions Can Amplify Future Heat Extremes Across New Zealand

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Extreme heat in New Zealand is projected to intensify faster than mean warming, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Using dynamically downscaled CMIP6 projections, we investigate whether land–surface moisture constraints contributes to future heat‐extreme intensification in a maritime climate. Across six downscaled models, evaporative fraction (

Swiss and Austrian Foehn revisited: A Lagrangian-based analysis

open access: yesMeteorologische 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 ...

Interannual Variability of Compound Hot‐Dry Events Over the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Associated with a warming tendency, a large variability of compound hot‐dry events (CHDEs) is evident in the Tibetan Plateau (TP), but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyze the interannual variability of summer CHDEs over the TP, identify the key large‐scale climate drivers, and reveal the dominant ...

Refining the Simulation of Mixed‐Phase Clouds Over Coastal Antarctica With a Tailored Ice Nucleating Particle Parameterization

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Climate models have substantial biases in downwelling shortwave radiation over the Southern Ocean (SO) and Antarctica, primarily due to their inability to accurately represent the frequent occurrence of low‐level mixed‐phase clouds. Building on the evaluation of the Unified Model (UM) Regional Atmosphere and Land version 3 (RAL3), this study ...

The riddles of foehn - introduction to the historic articles by Hann and Ficker

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2012
Two key papers on the topic of foehn are introduced. The first one, published in 1885 by Julius Hann, discusses the history of the “thermodynamic foehn theory“, and the role of the various scientists who contributed to its evolution.

Observed Linkages Between Marine Heatwaves and Extreme Weather Over Land: A New Zealand Case Study

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 11, September 2026.
Marine heatwaves consistently warm New Zealand's land surface, but rainfall impacts occur only when synoptic systems enable moisture transport. This 38‐year analysis shows MHWs act as thermodynamic background drivers of heat and conditional amplifiers of extreme rainfall events or droughts.

Tracking Summer Greenland Blocking: The Upstream Pathway Shapes Historical Extremes and Future Change

open access: yesInternational Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 11, September 2026.
This study investigates summer Greenland atmospheric blocking using the Lagrangian tracking Python package blocktrack applied to ERA5 reanalysis and CMIP6 models. Two types of blocks—upstream (Northern Canada origin) and retrograding (Northern Atlantic origin)—are distinguished, with upstream blocks driving recent observed frequency increasing trends ...
