Which names are given to the foehn in different regions?

  • A.Harmattan in West Africa and buran in central Asia, both of which are dry winds blowing from the interior
  • B.Chinook in North America and zonda in Argentina
  • C.Mistral in France and bora in the Adriatic, both of which are cold rather than warm downslope winds instead
  • D.Sirocco and khamsin

Answer: B

The chinook east of the Rockies and the zonda east of the Andes are the same phenomenon as the Alpine foehn. The mistral and bora are cold downslope winds in which the air was already cold before descending, so the adiabatic warming is insufficient to make them warm. Distinguishing warm from cold downslope winds is worth doing carefully.
