A layer of loess, a rather unstable fine silt deposited by the foehn winds which bluster across the plains, covers the northern and western flanks of the peninsula.

Wind can change the fire-accelerating effect of slopes to effects such as downslope windstorms ( called Santa Anas, foehn winds, East winds, depending on the geographic location ).
33.
Adiabatic heating occurs in the Earth's atmosphere when an air mass descends, for example, in a katabatic wind, Foehn wind, or chinook wind flowing downhill over a mountain range.
34.
Southwesterly winds further warmed by foehn wind can give warm temperatures in narrow Norwegian fjords in winter; Tafjord has recorded 17.9 �C in January and Sunndal 18.9 �C in February.
35.
On average the warmest winter temperatures occur on the south and west coasts, however, warm temperatures occasionally occur due to a foehn wind warming up downwind after the crossing the mountains.
36.
Since Krak�w lies near the Tatra Mountains, there are often occurrences of halny blowing ( a foehn wind ), causing temperatures to rise rapidly, and even in winter reach up to.
37.
If the mountain waves break aloft, they can result in strong warm winds at the ground known as Chinook winds ( in North America ) or Foehn winds ( in Europe ).
38.
The difference in moist adiabatic lapse rate and the dry rate is the cause of foehn wind phenomenon ( also known as " Chinook winds " in parts of North America ).
39.
The clouds that manage to pass over the mountain, move hastily downwards creating foehn winds that raise the temperature of the area west of the Sierra, which include the Santa Marta, and Ci�naga.
40.
The Santa Ana is further complicated by downsloped air, or foehn winds, drying out and warming up in the lee of the Sierra Nevada and coastal ranges, leading to a dangerous wildfire situation.
