Numerical simulations of the south foehn in the region of Innsbruck are presented. They are semi-idealized in the sense that realistic orography but idealized initial and boundary conditions are used. The focus of this study is on typical features of the fully developed foehn, the breakthrough phase of the foehn and the diurnal cycle of the foehn. In addition, the impact of the large-scale wind direction is examined, including conditions leading to shallow foehn.
