Three groups of human experts and two objective algorithms faced the task of identifying foehn periods. The first group (most of them are coauthors of this paper) consisted of 26 seasoned experts in mountain meteorology from different continents with operational or research backgrounds and thus a broad range of concepts of what constitutes foehn.
