An Observational Study of the Inn Valley Exit Jet in Southern Germany
Meteorological Applications, Volume 33, Issue 5, September/October 2026.Using measurements conducted during the TEAMx‐PC22, we found new insights on the structure and turbulence properties of the Inn valley exit jet, a frequently occurring nocturnal wind phenomenon in the exit region of the Inn valley in south‐eastern Germany. Furthermore, our findings show that the jet influences the wind field, temperature and turbulence

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2004 The vertical aerosol stratification within and above the Rhine Valley was studied with a backscatter lidar during FORM (Foehn in the Rhine Valley during MAP) IOPs 4-5, October 1-3, 1999. The lidar site was in Tr¨ubbach, 9° 28 E, 47° 04 N, 490 m asl.

Weather, Volume 81, Issue 9, Page 306-311, September 2026.The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We

Meteorological Applications, 2021 Numerous studies have elucidated that white heads and chalky rice are caused by hot, dry and strong winds at night. However, these studies have only used synoptic weather charts and near‐surface observation data to confirm the role of foehn in white head

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.Abstract Understanding the coastal zone of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS), where it interacts with the Southern Ocean and warmer air masses, is crucial for predicting Antarctica's influence on the global climate and sea level. This region has multiple tipping mechanisms that could trigger large, rapid, and potentially irreversible changes in the AIS ...

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Southern California's most destructive fires are driven by strong offshore winds, including the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, among the deadliest in California's history. However, the influence of anthropogenic climate change (ACC) on extreme wind events remains unclear.

The "Mini-foehn" of Mittenwald- A comparison of measurements and modelling
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2004 Strong nocturnal downvalley winds can often be observed in the Isar Valley near Mittenwald (Bavarian Alps) under the influence of high pressure systems over Central Europe or in the presence of ambient southerly winds.

A Lagrangian framework for detecting and characterizing the descent of foehn from Alpine to local scales [PDF]
Weather and Climate DynamicsWhen foehn winds surmount the Alps from the south, they often abruptly and vigorously descend into the leeside valleys on the Alpine north side. Scientists have long been intrigued by the underlying cause of this pronounced descent.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 16, 28 August 2026.Abstract Extreme weather in the Antarctic Peninsula arises from interactions among large‐scale circulation variability, atmospheric rivers (ARs), extratropical cyclones, and complex coastal terrain, yet the linkages across these scales remain insufficiently resolved.
