Effective wind speed is the combined effect of midflame wind speed and the slope equivalent wind speed in the direction of maximum spread(head fire). Effective wind speed is used in place of midflame wind speed when winds are blowing upslope and to determine size and shape(length-to-width ratio) for those fires. 2, record 2, English, - effective%20wind%20speed

A ski bowl is an open expanse of an area that appears like a bowl-shaped depression off the side of a mountain. This configuration is made out of a broad, dish-like formation that extends all the way down to the foot of the mountain.

The wind is a very important modifier of snow conditions. Areas with deposition of drifted snow should be assessed very carefully : the downwind sides of ridges, hills, and ribs, and local depressions on a steep slope, "caps" of gullies, and notches. Bowls, cirques, and wide depressions have complex wind action patterns that increase the uncertainty when predicting snow stability. 3, record 3, English, - bowl

Chinook is a Blackfoot word that translates to "snow eater", referring to, its ability to make winter snow packs vanish over a short time. The Chinook is a foehn wind; a generic term for all winds that have been warmed and dried by descent off a slope. The Chinook occurs over the front range of the Rocky Mountains and western plains of North America. They usually blow from the southwest to west and are quite strong, often 25-40 knots with gusts as high as 80 knots. Their effects are most strongly felt in southwestern Alberta where they funnel through the Crowsnest Pass before fanning out across southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. 3, record 6, English, - chinook

Chinook est un mot amérindien qui signifie littéralement «mangeur de neige», une allusion à sa capacité de faire fondre rapidement des accumulations de neige durant l'hiver. Le chinook est un foehn, terme générique pour tous les vents qui ont été réchauffés et asséchés en descendant une pente. Les chinooks se produisent sur les chaînons frontaux des Rocheuses et l'ouest des plaines d'Amérique du Nord. Ils soufflent habituellement du sud-ouest ou de l'ouest et sont assez forts, souvent de 25 à 40 nœuds avec des rafales jusqu'à 80 nœuds. Leurs effets se font surtout sentir dans le sud-ouest de l'Alberta, où ils sont canalisés dans le col Crowsnest (pas du Nid-de-Corbeau) avant de se répandre dans le sud de l'Alberta et de la Saskatchewan. 3, record 6, French, - chinook

Paragliders have no rigid structure and are kept in shape by the internal pressure of air, with the pilot suspended by lines beneath. The pilot is clipped into a harness and oriented in a sitting position for maximum comfort. After laying out the wing and lines, launching is simply a matter of moving down the slope a few steps to tension the lines and allow the wind to inflate the wing and raise it above you. A short run forward to pick up airspeed and you’re airborne! 4, record 7, English, - launching

Paraglider pilots launch from gentle hillsides with their gliders already opened for flight; if the glider isn’t flying properly, the launch can be aborted before leaving the ground. Paragliding launches are not as "committing"; if you want to stop your launch, you just stop running and the canopy floats down behind you. The pilot runs down a gentle slope and glides away from the mountain. 2, record 7, English, - launching

When a slope is loaded by the wind, there is a very general pattern to it, which results from the typical "weather pattern. "For example-the prevailing storm pattern in western Canada is from the southwest and this will deposit snow on the northeast side of the mountains(generally). When the weather pattern reverses and we get an "upslope" storm, the weather comes from the east and we will see a "reverse loading" pattern. So, basically it means a windloading pattern that is opposite to the prevailing pattern. [Reference : Grant Statham, Avalanche Specialist, Parks Canada. ] 2, record 14, English, - reverse%20loading

Slope Orientation. The orientation of the slope to the wind and sun is critical. Leeward slopes(facing away from the prevailing wind) are rapidly loaded by heavy snowfall, even during periods of clear weather.... The slope's orientation to the sun is also important. South-facing slopes receive the greatest amount of incoming solar radiation and tend to stabilize more quickly, but they may also release as a wet slide when the sun warms them. 5, record 23, English, - slope%20orientation

A gentle wind blowing up a valley or mountain slope in the absence of cyclonic or anticyclonic winds, caused by the warming of the mountainside and valley floor by the sun. 2, record 28, English, - valley%20breeze
Record number: 28, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A valley breeze develops during the day as the sun heats the land surface and air at the valley bottom and sides ... As the air heats it becomes less dense and buoyant and begins to flow gently up the valley sides. Vertical ascent of the air rising along the sides of the mountain is usually limited by the presence of a temperature inversion layer. When the ascending air currents encounter the inversion they are forced to move horizontally and then back down to the valley floor. This creates a self-contained circulation system. If conditions are right, the rising air can condense and form into cumuliform clouds. 3, record 28, English, - valley%20breeze

Mountain ranges have some very interesting weather patterns. One of these amazing phenomenons is the valley wind. Valley winds originate on south facing slopes in the northern hemisphere, and north-facing slopes in the southern hemisphere. When the face of the mountain and surrounding air is heated, the density of the air decreases. This results in the air rising to the top of the slope. During night, the process is reversed, and the air turns into a down slope wind. These winds can be quite powerful. 2, record 29, English, - downslope%20wind

Meso-scale wind flows play an important part in the dispersion of pollutants. These flows(horizontal dimension of 10s of kilometers) include :(i) land and sea or lake breezes[;](ii) urban heat-island circulation[;](iii) slope and valley winds. Such flows are most noticeable when skies are clear and when the macro-scale flows(horizontal dimensions of 100s to 1 000s of kilometers) are weak. Characteristically, these meso-scale features have 24-hour cycles(diurnal variations), so that the daily mean vector wind is small and thus, pollution is moved back and forth across the region without much dilution. 1, record 35, English, - meso%2Dscale%20feature
