Abstract

The foehn effect on the northwestern slopes of the White Carpathians has been by many scholars explained as the result of south and souteastern winds. No quantitative-based proofs, however, have so far acknowledged the existence of pseudoadiabatic processes in this region. This article analyses conditions for the rise and movement of foehn-type winds in the Moravian (northwestern) part of the White Carpathians. Data on air temperature and humidity from the period July 1987 - October 1988, recorded at 5 meteorological stations between the Váh and Morava Rivers, have been used.
