Ice and strong katabatic winds often prevent landings, either by " L'Astrolabe " carries supplies and personnel to the station from the port of Hobart, Tasmania.
32.
Both polar caps show spiral troughs, which recent analysis of SHARAD ice penetrating radar has shown are a result of roughly perpendicular katabatic winds that spiral due to the Coriolis Effect.
33.
Due to katabatic winds the western side is dominated by steppe ( Cfa ) most of the area is semi-dry with temperate to warm temperatures and an annual precipitation average of.
34.
The Santa Ana winds of southern California, including the Sundowner winds of Santa Barbara, are in some ways similar to the F�hn, but originate in dry deserts as a katabatic wind.
35.
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.
36.
The entire near-surface wind field over Antarctica is largely determined by the katabatic winds, particularly outside the summer season, except in coastal regions when storms may impose their own wind field.
37.
Over the course of the year there is a one-minute difference between the shortest and longest days . At night, the sky is usually clear with katabatic winds blowing down the valleys.
38.
Conversely, the McMurdo Dry Valleys of Antarctica, although they have had no ice for thousands of years, are not necessarily polar desert : they are kept " dry " by katabatic wind.
39.
The Himalayas, along with the Hindu Kush mountains in Pakistan, prevent cold Central Asian katabatic winds from blowing in, keeping the bulk of the Indian subcontinent warmer than most locations at similar latitudes.
40.
This was coupled with multiple katabatic wind events ( known as northers or Santa Anas ) that month, one of which occurred about 10 days prior and likely added to the dryness of fuels.
