Association of Foehn winds with physiological parameters in the general population
Abstract Background Foehn winds—warm, dry downslope winds common in alpine regions—may impact human health, especially in weather-sensitive individuals, though evidence is lacking. Wearable devices now enable continuous health monitoring, offering new insights into physiological reactions to such ...

Foehn Climatology and Index for Sofia 1993–2014
Proceedings of the Bulgarian Academy of SciencesFoehn is an extreme weather event caused by high wind gusts and its forecasting is still a challenge. The foehn in Bulgaria is observed on the northern slopes of the mountains.

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

Can trapped gravity waves be relevant for severe foehn windstorms? A case study
Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2007 This study presents high-resolution numerical simulations of an Alpine south foehn case (14-16 November 2002) during which extremely strong surface winds occurred in several regions of the Alps.

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.

Climatology and circulation conditions of potential foehn occurrence in the Polish Tatra Mountains
Acta GeophysicaFoehn wind occurrence has generated great interest among researchers because of the destructive power and impact on the local climate. Based on anemometric data provided by a high-mountain station on Kasprowy Wierch in the Polish Tatra Mountains, the ...

Radar Anomalous Propagation Associated with Foehn Winds Induced by Typhoon Krosa (2007)
Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology, 2011 AbstractIn this study, unusual radar anomalous propagation (AP) phenomena associated with foehn winds induced by Typhoon Krosa (2007) were documented by using observations from radar, surface stations, and soundings. The AP echoes embedded within rainband areas and exhibited inward motions toward the radar site within 2–3 h prior to the occurrences of ...
