The "Mini-foehn" of Mittenwald- A comparison of measurements and modelling
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]
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.

Linking Forest Fire Regimes and Climate—A Historical Analysis in a Dry Inner Alpine Valley [PDF]
Forest fire regimes are likely to experience considerable changes in the European Alps due to climatic changes. However, little is known about the recent regional fire history and the impact of local climate on the fire regime during the 20th century. We

FORM—IDEAS FOR FUTURE FOEHN RESEARCH [PDF]
Alpine Programme (MAP) (FORM) was a subproject of MAP with the goal of improving the understanding and forecasting of the life cycle of foehn-related phenomena, including their three-dimensional structure and associated boundary layer processes. Results of the project, as well as open questions that require future research, are communicated in this ...

Ozone Production by Electron Irradiation of Regolith Ice: Laboratory Study for the Icy Moons
Abstract We irradiate fine‐grained regolith pure water ice in ultra high vacuum with 5keV $5\,\text{keV}$ and 10keV $10\,\text{keV}$ electrons to study the radiolysis of water ice. The ice regolith is designed to closely mimic the physical characteristics of the surfaces of the icy moons of the Solar System.

Vertical structure of Arctic haze observed by lidar [PDF]
In the study of the Arctic Haze phenomenon, understanding the vertical structure of the haze aerosol is crucial in defining mechanisms of haze transport. Questions have also arisen concerning the representativeness of surface observations of Arctic Haze.

Study of the urban heat island in Alicante [PDF]
El fenómeno de isla de calor es tema actual y de gran trascendencia dentro de los estudios de clima urbano. A pesar de ello y de su tamaño poblacional, la ciudad de Alicante todavía no ha sido objeto de una investigación a fondo sobre dicha anomalía ...

Future Atmospheric Rivers in Antarctica: Characteristics and Impacts With the IPSL Model
Abstract Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are narrow corridors of intense water vapor transport that have significant impacts on the Antarctic surface mass balance (SMB) through both snow accumulation and surface melt due to rain and heat. To estimate their impacts on future SMB, we study Antarctic ARs in an ensemble of 21st‐century simulations of the IPSL‐CM6

Physically consistent mesoscale model evaluation in complex terrain
This study introduces a novel approach for evaluating mesoscale atmospheric models in complex terrain by selecting physically consistent grid points and applying height‐based corrections. The method corrects for sensor height and terrain elevation differences between model and observations using a time‐varying lapse rate.
