Note that while the Santa Ana Winds are a katabatic wind, they are not a Föhn wind.

With the prevailing wind direction in the UK being from the west or south west, the Föhn effect in Scotland is more common in the North-East of the country, with the west of Scotland being much wetter.

The Santa Ana winds of southern California, including the Sundowner winds of Santa Barbara, are in some ways similar to the Föhn, but originate in dry deserts as a katabatic wind.

nl: Föhn ( wind )

Glarus now contains but few houses built before 1861, for on the 10 / 11 May 1861 practically the whole town was destroyed by fire that was fanned by a violent Föhn or south wind, rushing down from the high mountains through the natural funnel formed by the Linth valley.

The reverse occurs when south-easterly winds create a Föhn effect to the North-West of Scotland, with the air drying out and warming up as it crosses the Grampians and Cairngorms from east to west.

* The Föhn is used for the letter F in " Crazy ABC's " from the album Snacktime!

* North-East Scotland, south-westerly winds create a Föhn effect bringing relatively warm temperatures on the lee side of the Grampians and Cairngorm mountain ranges.

* Photo of Föhnmauer The strong clouds at the mountain ridges where the Föhn winds form are called Föhnmauer ( Föhn wall ).

The heating through compression of descending air is what is responsible for such winter phenomena as the chinook ( as it is known in western North America ) or the Föhn ( in the Alps ).

How Föhn is produced

: Föhn is pronounced " Fern "

Central Europe enjoys a warmer climate due to the Föhn, as moist winds off the Mediterranean Sea blow over the Alps.

By contrast, Föhn weather conditions push in the other direction against the massif, affecting the region for about 60 days per year.

Föhn winds can raise temperatures by as much as 30 ° C ( 54 ° F ) in just a matter of hours.

Föhn winds are notorious among mountaineers in the Alps, especially those climbing the Eiger, for whom the winds add further difficulty in ascending an already difficult peak.

* Föhn in Wollongong and South Coast, NSW, Australia.

* Peter Camenzind, a novel by Hermann Hesse, refers, at length, to the Alpine Föhn.

* The threat of the Föhn drives the protagonists Ayla and Jondalar in Jean M. Auel's The Plains of Passage over a glacier before the spring melt.

* The Föhn blowing through Zurich torments the characters in Robert Anton Wilson's Masks of the Illuminati.

In cases where the direction of the air motion is always the same, as in the ventilating shafts of mines and buildings for instance, wind vanes, known as air meters are employed, and give most satisfactory results.

Accompanying noise from the set, equipment, traffic, wind, and the overall ambiance of the surrounding environment often results in unusable production sound, and during the post-production process a supervising sound editor or ADR Supervisor reviews all of the dialogue in the film and decides which lines will have to be re-recorded.

It shelters the soil from winds, which results in decreased wind erosion, as well as advantageous changes in microclimate.

The worldwide solar-driven wind results in the so-called Sq ( solar quiet ) current system in the E region of the Earth's ionosphere ( ionospheric dynamo region ) ( 100 – 130 km altitude ).

Although the failure to detect an aether wind was a disappointment, the results were accepted by the scientific community.

There are correction factors to relate wind tunnel test results to open-air results.

In summer, a cool wind called Yamase frequently blows from the east, which sometimes results in abnormally cool weather and poor harvests.

Older fabrics ( especially cotton and low budget synthetic ), have the tendency to stretch with wind pressure which results in distorted and consequently inefficient sail shapes.

The comparison of model test results and the full scale monitoring will assist engineers to better understand the behaviour of long span bridges in wind and to improve current design methods.

Epsilon Eridani's hot corona results in a mass loss rate from the star's stellar wind that is 30 times higher than the Sun's.

The Vega 1 lander's surface experiments were inadvertently activated at 20 km from the surface by an especially hard wind jolt, and so failed to provide results.

For the most accurate results from a wind tunnel test, the tunnel is sometimes equipped with a rolling road.

The party polled well at its first election, its candidate coming a close second in the 1989 Richmond by-election, but thereafter a string of poor and ultimately disastrous by-election results followed, including coming behind the Official Monster Raving Loony Party in the Bootle by-election of May 1990, prompting Owen to wind up the party in 1990.

Homebrew Cavendish experiment, showing calculation of results and precautions necessary to eliminate wind and electrostatic errors.

It is a rain shadow wind that results from the subsequent adiabatic warming of air that has dropped most of its moisture on windward slopes ( see orographic lift ).

" As eternity is longer than time, as mind is stronger than matter, as thought is swifter than the wind, as genius is more potent than gold, so will the results of well-directed labors toward the development of man's higher faculties ever outweigh a thousand fold any estimate in the currency of commerce, which man can put upon such efforts.

The prevailing wind is from the north-west which drives rain-clouds inland to the ranges and results in high rainfalls during the winter and spring.

In 1992, he began construction of a Fangio F1 prototype, and by 1993, the car was being tested at the Dallara wind tunnel with positive results.

Petty's and Darrel Waltrip's ( driving the Junior Johnson built Mirada race car ) test results turned out to be a huge disappointment to Dodge, and took the wind out Chrysler's efforts to re-establish itself in racing.

Penman's equation requires daily mean temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, and solar radiation to predict E. Simpler Hydrometeorological equations continue to be used where obtaining such data is impractical, to give comparable results within specific contexts, e. g. humid vs arid climates.

The flapping of the sail ( s ) which results from having no wind in the sail at all.

In winter the weather is moderate, with significant rains and wind, although sometimes the cold climate of Asturias results in snowfall at sea level.

The wind stress also generates turbulence, which causes the surface fresh water to be mixed down and results in a brackish layer typically 5 – 15 metres thick.
