Vent du type föhn sur le versant oriental des Andes en Argentine centrale. 3, record 1, French, - zonda
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Le Zonda est un vent typique de la région, de type foehn, très chaud (sa température se situe autour de 30° C) et très sec (humidité relative inférieure à 10 %). Or même s'il ne souffle que sporadiquement, il sévit de juillet à octobre, avec une fréquence particulière à l'époque de la floraison des arbres fruitiers, ce qui entrave la pollinisation en raison de la déshydratation du tube pollinique provoquée par ce vent. 4, record 1, French, - zonda
