Discussion
Which local wind results from flow forced through a gap in a barrier?
Answer: B
Blocked flow accelerating through a gap can produce winds far stronger than the ambient flow, and such gap winds are a recognised hazard in fjords, straits and mountain passes. The foehn descends the lee slope after crossing the crest, while sea breezes and katabatic winds are driven by thermal contrasts rather than by dynamical channelling.
