Lorsque de l'air en mouvement rencontre un obstacle (une montagne par exemple), une partie des filets d'air tend à la contourner tandis que l'autre partie est forcée de s'élever. Sur le versant au vent apparaissent donc des mouvements ascendants relativement réguliers. On considère généralement que la vitesse verticale augmente avec la pente; toutefois, si la pente est supérieure à 40° un tourbillon à axe horizontal se développe au pied de la montagne de telle sorte que l'angle de déviation des filets demeure inférieur à 40°. 3, record 2, French, - tourbillon
