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.
