A Lagrangian framework for detecting and characterizing the descent of foehn from Alpine to local scales
<p>When foehn winds surmount the Alps from the south, they often abruptly and vigorously descend into the leeside valleys on the Alpine north side. Scientists have long been intrigued by the underlying cause of this pronounced descent. While mountain gravity waves and the hydraulic theory prov...
