Evaluation of Ensemble‐Based Extreme Forecast Diagnostics for Zonda Wind Prediction
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Zonda is a downslope windstorm on the eastern slopes of the Andes in western Argentina. This Foehn‐like phenomenon can produce hazardous, strong, and gusty downslope winds, leading to extreme and rapid warming with severe societal impacts. Despite substantial advances in numerical weather prediction, forecasting Zonda winds remains challenging.

Effects of Orography on the High-Temperature Event on 22 June 2023 in North China
AtmosphereAn extreme high-temperature event occurred in North China on 22 June 2023, with the maximum temperature reaching 41.8 °C. The high-temperature centers preferentially occurred at the foothills of the Taihang and Yanshan Mountains, indicating an important ...

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.

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 4, Page 859-872, July 2026.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.

On the descent of the Alpine south foehn
, 2023 Abstract. When 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. While mountain gravity waves provide a modern theoretical foundation to explain the phenomenon, the descent of ...

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Since grain sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is gaining recognition as a climate‐resilient alternative to maize in Central Europe, optimizing the cultivation technology of commercial hybrids has become a key area of research. A 2‐year study (2023–2024) was conducted in Keszthely, Hungary to assess the plant‐ and plot‐level responses of four

Modelling Storage‐Discharge Relationships in an Alpine Basin in the Canadian Rockies
Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.CRHM was used to model storage‐discharge relationships for Fortress Mountain Research Basin, an alpine basin in the Canadian Rockies. The model showed reasonable predictions of snow accumulation, snowmelt, liquid soil moisture, and streamflow, and nonlinear and hysteretic storage‐discharge relationships for this alpine basin.

Testing the Strength of Buried Surface Hoar Weak Layers Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.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

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.Cold waves in northern Europe and the Alps have severe impacts on daily life sectors. Our study shows that they have become less frequent, shorter, and milder over the past eight decades despite ongoing regional variability. In addition, cold waves are sensitive to the large‐scale circulation.

Turbulent snow transport and accumulation: New reduced‐order models and diagnostics
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.Our new reduced‐order models of snow particle transport provide high‐fidelity calculations of snow accumulation in turbulent flows at significantly reduced computational costs. Additional accumulation diagnostics from the reduced‐order model predict complex patterns of particle concentration in turbulent boundary layers via coherent flow structures in ...
