Increasing extreme melt in northeast Greenland linked to foehn winds and atmospheric rivers. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2023 AbstractThe Greenland Ice Sheet has been losing mass at an increased rate in recent decades. In northeast Greenland, increasing surface melt has accompanied speed-ups in the outlet glaciers of the Northeast Greenland Ice Stream, which contain over one meter of sea level rise potential.

The risk of hospitalization associated with foehn winds and temperature in the mountainous region of Switzerland. [PDF]
Environ EpidemiolBackground: Foehn winds are intense warm winds, common in mountain regions, but their health impacts and potential to exacerbate existing heat-related risks remain poorly understood. This is particularly concerning for rural areas where older, heat-vulnerable individuals live. Objective:

The surface energy balance during foehn events at Joyce Glacier, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2022 The McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDV) are a polar desert, where glacial melt is the main source of water to streams and the ecosystem. Summer air temperatures are typically close to zero, and therefore foehn events can have a large impact on the meltwater ...
