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

Dynamics of a Puelche foehn event in the Andes

Meteorologische Zeitschrift, 2018
In this numerical modelling study, we investigate a Puelche foehn event (25–26 March 2014) in the southern Andes – a region with sparse observations. The synoptic environment as well as the mesoscale structure and the dynamics of the easterly wind are ...

Cold Waves in a Changing Climate: Characteristics, Trends, and Large‐Scale Drivers in Northern Europe and the Alps

Atmospheric Science Letters, Volume 27, Issue 4, April 2026.
Cold waves in northern Europe and the Alps have severe impacts on daily life sectors. Our study shows that they have become less frequent, shorter, and milder over the past eight decades despite ongoing regional variability. In addition, cold waves are sensitive to the large‐scale circulation.

Turbulent snow transport and accumulation: New reduced‐order models and diagnostics

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Volume 152, Issue 776, April 2026 Part A.
Our new reduced‐order models of snow particle transport provide high‐fidelity calculations of snow accumulation in turbulent flows at significantly reduced computational costs. Additional accumulation diagnostics from the reduced‐order model predict complex patterns of particle concentration in turbulent boundary layers via coherent flow structures in ...

FOEHN OVER THE EASTERN CARPATHIANS, CHARACTERISED BY A WESTERN CIRCULATION OF ANTICYCLONIC SHADE. CASE STUDY, 4–6 FEBRUARY, 2011 [PDF]

Revue Roumaine de Géographie, 2014
This paper explores the characteristics of an air mass crossing a mountain obstacle oriented perpendicularly to the air circulation direction, inducing foehn effects on its lee side.

Wind profiler as a tool to check the ability of two NWP models to forecast winds above highly complex topography

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Foehn warming mechanism and near-surface weather impact at the northern foreland of the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, Czech Republic

Theoretical and Applied Climatology
The interaction of large-scale flow and local topography can lead to various meteorological phenomena. A prominent example is foehn, a dry and warm leeward wind.
