The conceptual - methodological evolution of the research on the föehn with special reference to the Cotnari area

Given the increasing vulnerability of environmental components to the variability of weather and climate elements, studies of the föehn manifestations are a topical issue both internally and externally. This article aims to highlight the main advances in geographical studies and especially climate dynamics that have marked steps in the knowledge of the föehn, specific wind in parameters that must be quantified in more detail for the climate subregion of Cotnarilor. The clearest possible capture of the dynamic peculiarities of the Cotnari subregion will allow us to detail aspects from its topoclimatic context.
