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.

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 ...

Drivers of observed winter–spring sea-ice and snow thickness at a coastal site in East Antarctica [PDF]
The CryosphereAntarctic sea ice and its snow cover play a pivotal role in regulating the global climate system through feedback on both the atmospheric and the oceanic circulations.

Unexpected Warming Induced by Foehn Winds in the Lee of the Smoky Mountains
Weather and Forecasting, 2002 Abstract On 2 January 1999, a southeasterly foehn wind produced a narrow band of temperatures up to 10°C (18°F) warmer than the surrounding area in the central Great Tennessee Valley on the northwest side of the Smoky Mountains. This particular event was interesting in comparison with other documented foehn wind events in that the dewpoint temperature ...

On the Interaction between Sea Breeze and Summer Mistral at the Exit of the Rhône Valley
, 2006 The three-dimensional structure and dynamics of the combination of the sea breeze and the mistral at the Rhône Valley exit, in southeastern France, have been investigated experimentally and numerically on 22 June 2001.

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 ...

, 2011 Foehn wind blowing through the Kolkhida (Kolkheti) Lowland in the southwestern Caucasus (western Georgia) was observed on an Envisat synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image as it encountered an atmospheric cyclonic eddy over the Black Sea on 13 September ...

Understanding and Forecasting Zonda Wind (Andean Foehn) in Argentina: A Review
Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, 2015 This paper focuses on the “state of the art” research of the Argentinian zonda wind at the beginning of 2015. Zonda (similar to foehn) is a strong, warm, very dry wind associated with adiabatic compression upon descending the eastern slopes of the Andes Cordillera in western central Argentina.
