Le «foehn» ou, du suisse allemand, «föhn», est un vent chaud et sec qui se développe par l'affaissement de l'air après le passage d'un relief. Habituellement, le vent se développe du côté sud de la montagne où il provoque nébulosité et pluies puis, traversant vers le nord où l'atmosphère devient parfaitement claire mais l'air lourd, desséché et chaud, fait grimper la température de 10 °C pendant le jour alors qu'il gèle la nuit. Ces soudaines modifications entraînent la fonte des neiges et expliquent de nombreuses avalanches. 4, record 2, French, - foehn

All clouds, from the puffy cumulus to the wispy cirrus, is a portion of air that has condensed into visible moisture. Cooling of such a portion of air to its dew point is by far the main reason for cloud formation. The main cause for the cooling lies in some process which causes air to rise or be forced upward. Large warm air masses may slide up the slope of a colder heavier mass of air. As the warmer air overrides the cooler, the warm air expands and is cooled itself by the expansion of air molecules, thus finally reaching a dew-point temperature resulting in widespread cloudiness. All clouds consist of minute water droplets, ice crystals, or a combination of both. 1, record 10, English, - cloud%20formation

Forced Air Wood Furnaces. Central wood-burning furnaces are controlled by a wall mounted thermostat in the living area. Temperature and fan controls are the same as those found on oil and gas furnaces. Unlike room heaters, which produce a steady heat output by periodic manual adjustments of the draft control, most wood furnaces operate in cycles. A cycle starts with the thermostat sensing that heat is needed in the room where it is located. It signals the furnace control system which opens the combustion air damper and a hot fire develops. When the air inside the furnace's sheet metal casing gets hot, a preset fan control starts the circulating blower and the warm air is moved through the ducts to all areas of the house. 1, record 12, English, - forced%20air%20wood%20furnace
