Objective Forecasting of Foehn Winds for a Subgrid-Scale Alpine Valley
Weather and Forecasting, 2008 Abstract Foehn winds often depend on topographical features of a scale that is not sufficiently resolved in numerical models. Consequently, a successful foehn forecast has crucially depended on the experience of bench forecasters. This study provides a method for an objective, probabilistic forecast of foehn occurrence and strength ...

A protracted phenology: Post‐diapause larval development of a threatened butterfly
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Larval survival during diapause was high; hibernaculum webs were mostly located near Succisa pratensis plants, which often retained vital leaves through winter. Post‐diapause developmental time varied strongly depending on exposure to different microclimates, being reduced by litter cover, solar radiation and a higher heat load index.

Evaluation of Ensemble‐Based Extreme Forecast Diagnostics for Zonda Wind Prediction
Earth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2026.Abstract Zonda is a downslope windstorm on the eastern slopes of the Andes in western Argentina. This Foehn‐like phenomenon can produce hazardous, strong, and gusty downslope winds, leading to extreme and rapid warming with severe societal impacts. Despite substantial advances in numerical weather prediction, forecasting Zonda winds remains challenging.

Subtropical Foehn Winds, Southeast Queensland, Australia
Journal of Geophysical Research: AtmospheresAbstractFoehn winds have been a focus of research in mid‐latitude mountainous regions for more than 150 years, where their onset is typically associated with warm, dry, and gusty winds. This research has now extended into high latitude regions, yet research of foehn winds in subtropical and tropical regions remains scarce.

Modelling Storage‐Discharge Relationships in an Alpine Basin in the Canadian Rockies
Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 6, June 2026.CRHM was used to model storage‐discharge relationships for Fortress Mountain Research Basin, an alpine basin in the Canadian Rockies. The model showed reasonable predictions of snow accumulation, snowmelt, liquid soil moisture, and streamflow, and nonlinear and hysteretic storage‐discharge relationships for this alpine basin.

Automatic and probabilistic foehn diagnosis with a statistical mixture model [PDF]
, 2013 Diagnosing foehn winds from weather station data downwind of topographic obstacles requires distinguishing them from other downslope winds, particularly nocturnal ones driven by radiative cooling.

Testing the Strength of Buried Surface Hoar Weak Layers Under Combined Compression and Shear Loading
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract We experimentally determined the multiaxial strength of weak layers of buried surface hoar using displacement‐controlled tests under combined normal and shear loading on a custom testing machine. We tested 63 samples from three different weak layers, with strengths ranging from 1 to 10 kPa with considerable scattering. While shear strength was
