摘要:
The phenomenon known as the Chinook wind, which occurs in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, has been investigated. A number of salient features of the Chinook have been established. The most important one is that of the pressure distribution associated with a Chinook. This involves the establishment of a pressure trough between two anticyclones, one on each side of the Rocky Mountain ridge. The location of this trough relative to the ridge is extremely important. In order that a strong Chinook occur, the trough must lie in the lee of the Rockies. It has been shown also that the region of the Chinook is in southern Alberta, extending a short distance east from the mountains.
