Due to the green house effect, the energy and water content of the atmosphere increases. This raises the potential of foehn and thunderstorms. |
In addition, foehn winds, warm dry winds coming off the lee slopes of a mountain range, heated the basin. |
The foehn and the micro-organism responsible for the noble rot start their task. |
Such a rise in temperature due to compression is a well-known phenomenon, referred to as the foehn effect. |
Due to the warm foehn wind and mild climate, plants that lend a southern feel to the area thrive around Lake Lucerne. |
A foehn wind can last from two to three days and blows either south north or north south, depending on the tracking of cyclonic storms. |
