🏔️ Carpathian Foehn & Rain Shadow: Orographic Lift, Moist vs Dry Adiabats and Lee Warming

A 3D Carpathian-style ridge where moist air is lifted over the crest: it cools at the dry then the moist adiabatic rate above the lifting condensation level, rains out on the windward slope and descends as a warmer, drier foehn. Wind, ridge height, upwind temperature, humidity and valley elevation update LCL, windward rain, lee temperature and foehn warming live.
