It blows about five times a year on the southwest slopes that are in the lee of the prevailing northeast trade winds. Kona is the Polynesian word for leeward. It is associated with a southward or a southeastward swing of the Aleutian low and the passage of a secondary depression(kona cyclone) from northwest to southeast, north of the islands.  2, record 2, English, - kona

Along a loop, 8650 m long and traversing a hilly landscape, the air temperature was measured at four levels (0.2, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 m a g). ... Sudden rises in air temperature at 2.0 m occurred at a number of elevated locations along the loop, at a maximum rate of 3.5°C/hour, indicative of the influence of dynamic turbulence.  2, record 3, English, - dynamic%20turbulence

In spring, dust storms take place in deserts and dry loess plateau... These vast areas are located in the lee of the massive East Asian Mountains where a convergent airflow and a lee cyclone take place on a synoptic scale.... In particular, a convergent flow in a lee cyclonic system enhances an upward motion, and dust produced by mechanical and dynamic turbulence can be transported to the midtroposphere...  3, record 3, English, - dynamic%20turbulence

Afin de pouvoir quantifier les échanges d'ozone et de cerner l'impact de cette molécule sur le fonctionnement des couverts forestiers et agricoles, nous avons cherché à paramétrer sa vitesse de «dépôt» (i.e. absorption par des surfaces, circulation dans des pores et autres voies de transfert [...]). [...] le dépôt nocturne en conditions sèches est contrôlé par la turbulence dynamique (vitesse de frottement); pour des conditions dynamiques données, le dépôt augmente sensiblement avec l'humidité relative de l'air; si le dépôt stomatique est dominant en conditions diurnes [...]  3, record 3, French, - turbulence%20dynamique
