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

Foehn Winds of Southern California [PDF]
One of the characteristic weather phenomena of southern California is a wind of the foehn type known locally as the Santa Ana. Unseasonably high temperatures and very low humidities are associated with its occurence.

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Swiss and Austrian Foehn revisited: A Lagrangian-based analysis
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 ...

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

Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...

Testing the Strength of Buried Surface Hoar Weak Layers Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading
Abstract We experimentally determined the multiaxial strength of weak layers of buried surface hoar using displacement‐controlled tests under combined normal and shear loading on a custom testing machine. We tested 63 samples from three different weak layers, with strengths ranging from 1 to 10 kPa with considerable scattering. While shear strength was

Aerosol Effect on Orographic Clouds and Its Meteorological Feedback: A Numerical Case Study
We investigate the aerosol effects on orographic clouds and its feedback on the surrounding meteorological environment. The simulations reveals that aerosols perturb the near‐storm thermodynamics via the “indirect microphysical effects”, resulting in lower humidity and higher temperature at lower levels of the lee side.

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