As mentioned in the December Language Corner, there is no lack of natural catastrophes in Switzerland, and
foehn is a chief contributor.
Figure 8 shows the near-surface wind field from INCA for the
foehn episode (5 February 2014) when southerly flow was channeled into the valleys.

Societal and environmental impacts of the warming experienced in the lee of mountains, known as the
foehn warming effect, are significant and diverse.

Shortly thereafter, the forelands and Zurich were caught by surprisingly gusty
foehn winds.
To help achieve that goal, Alain
Foehn - one of Schleiss's PhD students - developed a model for making hydrological forecasts.
Temperatures in Hualien and Taitung in eastern Taiwan could top 38 degrees on Saturday due to possible
foehn winds - warm and dry gusts that flow down the sheltered side of mountains into valleys - the bureau said.

Foehn, Director of Sales & Marketing at RAMPF Tooling Solutions: "With tailor-made materials, expert advice, customer-specific service, and fast technical support, we make a success of even the most demanding projects.
A similar concern regarding the lack of similarity in [theta] and [[theta].sub.e] for frontal analysis has been noted by Heimann (1992) in the case of a prefrontal
foehn. The western European prefrontal convergence lines associated with north African air masses (Dahl and Fischer 2016) may also have this behavior, although maps of surface [[theta].sub.e] were not presented.
The temperature might have been affected by a phenomenon known as the
Foehn Effect, a dry and warm down-slope wind that occurs to the lee of hills or mountains.
Explaining why it is going to be so warm, Cardiff-born Channel 4 presenter Liam Dutton said: "The potential to break February records will depend on the
Foehn effect happening.
