Foehnlike Wind with a Traditional Foehn Effect plus Dry-Diabatic Heating from the Ground Surface Contributing to High Temperatures at the End of a Leeward Area [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A foehn wind is an important factor in the occurrence of many extreme high-temperature events in geographically complex regions. In this study, the authors verified the hypothesis that a foehnlike wind contributes to high temperatures at the end of the ...

The use of automatic station data for continuing the long time series (1864 to 2008) of foehn in Altdorf

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2014
This paper is dedicated to Gian Gensler, former Chief Meteorologist of MeteoSwiss, who passed away on April 13, 2013 at the age of 92.In Altdorf, in the Uri part of the Reuss Valley, foehn observations have been recorded from 1864 until 2008 at a station

A mathematical model of melt lake development on an ice shelf [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The accumulation of surface meltwater on ice shelves can lead to the formation of melt lakes. Melt lakes have been implicated in ice shelf collapse; Antarctica's Larsen B Ice Shelf was observed to have a large amount of surface melt lakes present ...

The Causes of Foehn Warming in the Lee of Mountains [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The foehn effect is well known as the warming, drying, and cloud clearance experienced on the lee side of mountain ranges during “flow over” conditions. Foehn flows were first described more than a century ago when two mechanisms for this warming effect ...

Foehn in the Rhine Valley as seen by a wind-profiler-RASS system and comparison with the nonhydrostatic model Meso-NH

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2004
One of the scientific objectives of MAP (Mesoscale Alpine Programme) addressed the four-dimensional variability of the foehn flow in the Rhine Valley.

What is a Foehn Clearance? [PDF]

open access: yesBulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 1985
In the present study foehn clearance is described and compared with strong downslope windstorms like the foehn and chinook. The comparison is based on surface and satellite data taken during foehn north of the Alps in southern Bavaria and during chinook east of the Rocky Mountains.

Foehn-like Wind in the Mountains of Southeastern Brazil as Seen by the Eta Model Simulation [PDF]

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Meteorologia, 2020
The present study gives evidence of the occurrence of foehn-like wind on the eastern slopes of the mountains at Southeastern Brazil. A particular case was detected based on observational evidence on 4 July 2015 near the city of Cruzeiro, state of Sao ...

Foehn winds influence surface ablation on Glaciar Perito Moreno, southern Patagonian icefield

open access: yesJournal of Glaciology
The southern Patagonian glaciers are known for having extremely high ablation rates. Foehn winds are one of the suspected causes, however, their influence on the annual ablation, their interannual variations, and their relationship with climate change is

Orographic Effects and Evaporative Cooling along a Subtropical Cold Front: The Case of the Spectacular Saharan Dust Outbreak of March 2004

open access: yes, 2012
On 2 March 2004 a marked upper-level trough and an associated surface cold front penetrated into the Sahara. High winds along and behind this frontal system led to an extraordinary, large-scale, and long-lived dust out reak, accompanied by significant ...

Comparison of two numerical weather prediction models in simulating south foehn in the Alpine Rhine Valley

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
ICON outperforms COSMO in simulating a south foehn event in the Alpine Rhine Valley, with improved accuracy in temperature, wind speed, and foehn timing. This enhanced performance likely results from a more accurate representation of surface energy balance and gravity wave pattern on the lee side of the mountain.
