New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.Late Cenozoic silty and sandy sediments in the semi‐arid Mackenzie basin have been eroded and redeposited almost entirely from nearby Mesozoic greywacke basement. Fine (commonly micron scale) phyllosilicate flakes, including clays, are randomly distributed and randomly oriented, and the sediments are porous.

Hydrologic Response To Foehn Winds In The McMurdo Dry Valleys, Southern Victoria Land, Antarctica
, 2020 In the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs), foehn winds are a principal vector of landscape connectivity that facilitate movement of materials between glaciers, streams, soils, lakes and other parts of the ecosystem.

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2001 Wind observations from a wind profiler located next to the crest of the Alps are used to test the ability of two Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) models to forecast the air flow from the surface up to 3000 m above the complex topography.

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.We compared temporal variability in dust and loess accretion in New Zealand's South Island with glacial activity in the central Southern Alps, considered the main mechanism of silt production, in (i) a proximal loess deposit at Barrhill, Rakaia River and (ii) a distal dust record from a peat mire in Central Otago.

Southern Annular Mode, Foehn Wind, and Larsen C Ice Shelf
, 2019 The Antarctica Peninsula (AP) has undergone a rapid increase of temperature within the recent decade. One of the leading factors that causes the warming is known as Southern Annular Mode (SAM).

The Foehn Effect on Mortality in Asturias [PDF]
, 2017 The Foehn Effect is a phenomenon that occurs when two weather variables coexist: southerly wind and a significant increase in temperature. This can affect the health of the wearhersensitive people.

Regional and local scale characteristics of foehn wind events over the South Island of New Zealand
, 1996 Regional and local scale windfield and air mass characteristics during two distinct synoptic foehn wind events over southern New Zealand are examined. The Southern Alps were observed to effectively block low level onshore gradient northwesterly airflow ...

Comparison of temperature and wind profiles between ground-based remote sensing observations and numerical weather prediction model in complex Alpine topography: the Meiringen campaign [PDF]
Atmospheric Measurement TechniquesThermally driven valley winds and near-surface air temperature inversions are common in complex topography and have a significant impact on the local and mesoscale weather situation.

Foehn-Like Winds and Elevated Fire Danger Conditions in Southeastern Australia
Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2010 AbstractBushfires in southeastern Australia are a serious environmental problem, and consistently cause loss of life and damage to property and other assets. Understanding synoptic processes that can lead to dangerous fire weather conditions throughout the region is therefore an important undertaking aimed at improving community safety, protection of ...

Simulating orographic rainfall with a limited-area, non-hydrostatic atmospheric model under idealized forcing [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2005 A modified version of an operational 3-dimensional, non-hydrostatic, limited-area atmospheric model (MM5) was used to perform high-resolution, idealized simulations of the interaction of an infinitely long single ridge with a steady, lateral large-scale
