2 What are there conditions FOEHN winds events on the western side. Typically occurred as southeasterly wind developed ahead of a low pressure system. The wind events on the eastern side were typically the result of northwesterly winds behind the passage of a shallow cold front.

3 How long do FOEHN winds last FOEHN winds can melt and evaporate a foot 0.3 meters of snow. The winds can at least last a day or more. This wind has the same force of some hurricane winds.

5 Image by fpic,gdl Do FOEHN winds make distinction The temperature gets less and a strong shift and increase in wind speeds. Although these winds may on occasion reach destructive velocities on beneficial. Aspect is that these winds quickly disperse the sever air pollutants that plague the LOS ANGELES basin.

6 By Meteosat 9 wv76 What do they look like from sat alight There big huge clouds. These satellite images show cold fronts warm fronts and occlusion band crossing mountain ranges. There big huge clouds. These satellites images show cold front warm front and occlusion band crossing mountain ranges.

7 By Meteosat 9 wv77 How do they get warm It is warmed by as it encounters the greater pressures of lower altitudes. The image that you see is by the UTC A picture of FOEHN winds in the mountain ridges in N. Spain.

8 By Meteosat 9 wv78 DO THEY CAUSE FIRES Yes they do in southern California are an example of FOEHN winds that caused large forest fires. Finally if the warm FOEHN winds occur after spring planting the seed might not survive because the wind has parched the soil.

9 By Meteosat 9 wv79 What are they similar to FOEHN winds are very similar to origins the Chinook occurs on the east slopes of several large mountain ranges in the western united states.

10 By Meteosat 9 wv710 How are FOEHN winds made FOEHN winds are produced when a large scale circulation is strong and deep to force air over major mountain ranges in a short period of time.
