Geography / weather/meteorology
English term or phrase: distinct
As has just been demonstrated in the example above, one mountain range (catena montuosa {or} di montagne…) which frequently produces Foehn events is the Alps (gli Alpi..) intensive Foehn appears north of the Alps when there is a distinct southerly stream >(corrente).. ahead of a frontal cloud band approaching from the W; under such circumstances a life cycle can be observed…

Which adjective should I employ ?, for the dictionary quotes three..:distinct [dstkt] (adj: different, species, type) distinct (from), diverso/a (da), distinto/a (da);
as ~ from, a differenza di;
(clear, sound, shape) chiaro/a, distinto/a;
(unmistakable, increase, change) palese, netto/a;
(definite, preference, progress, feeling) definito/a.

Thanks for your help.

Italian translation:di particolare rilievo
Explanation:
I agree with Mougira.
But for your info: the Alps= LE Alpi not GLI Alpi
Diverso= different
Palese= obvious, manifest
Definito = precise, determinate
another idea "...si manifesta/appare/è presente a nord DELLE Alpi dove una corrente di particolare rilievo(=notable/remarkable) proveniente da sud...."
