How “hairdryer winds” melt Antarctic ice
Föhn winds are a common occurrence in mountain regions around the world - from the Andes to the Alps to the Rockies. And... to the Antarctic Peninsula.
In fact, these "hairdryer winds" have a real impact on the climate of the Antarctic Peninsula, and can drive temperature extremes and melting.
DJ wind erodes ice, blows away snow...hot wind even increases melt...(fóhn in the Antarctic may increase temperature with 30C-close to meltingpoint in East Antarctica...The highest temperature in Antarctica was 18C + on the peninsula-also föhn linked...).
