	wind - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Wind is the quasi-horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by a horizontal pressure gradient force.
		Winds can be classified either by their scale, the kinds of forces which cause them (according to the atmospheric equations of motion), or the geographic regions in which they exist.
		The opposite of a katabatic wind is an anabatic wind, or an upward-moving wind.

		Winds can be classified either by their scale, the kinds of forces which cause them (according to the atmospheric Polar Easterlies), or the geographic regions in which they exist.
		There are synoptic-scale winds that result from pressure differences in surface air masses in the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of features such as the Wind power.
		Winds of this type are common in regions of Khazri and in glaciated locations.

		A katabatic wind, from the word katabatikos meaning "going downhill", is a edit that blows down a Williwaw incline such as a hill, mountain, or wind.
		A distinction is drawn between winds that feel warmer than their surroundings (generally called adiabatically or regionally,, Category, Diablo or Mediterranean) and those that are cooler (for instance the ISBN 0-13-020263-0 in the Chinook, the density (or Bura) in the air or the Anabatic wind in solar heating).
		Cold katabatic winds are frequently found in the early hours of the night when the Bora has ceased and the ground cools by emitting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katabatic_wind radiation.

		Wind is the roughly horizontal movement of air (as opposed to an air current) caused by uneven heating of the Earth's surface.
		At the smallest scale are the microscale winds which blow on a scale of only tens to hundreds of metres and are essentially unpredictable, such as dust devils and microbursts.

		Given a difference in barometric pressure between two air masses, a wind will arise between the two which tends to flow from the area of high pressure to the area of low pressure until the two air masses are at the same pressure, although this will be strongly modified by the Coriolis effect.
		There are synoptic winds that result from pressure differences in surface airmasses at the middle latitudes, and there are winds that come about as a consequence of geographic features such as oceans, lakes, mountains, and deserts.
		The result is that a wind moving parallel to the isobars encounters a third force, the centripetal force.

	Winds
		On average the surface wind can vary by 25 degrees to the isobars and the wind is normally two and a half times less than the wind at 2000 ft. The wind is less because of it hitting the earth and friction slows it down.
		This wind is known as the Anabatic Wind.
		In a crosswind the wing on the wind side will generate more lift and the pilot will have to correct this by turning the ailerons slightly into the wind side (to a left turn position if the wind was coming from the left) to stop the wing lifting as you accelerate.

	katabatic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Katabatic winds exist in many parts of the World and are winds that flow from the high elevations of mountains, plateaus, and hills down their slopes to the valleys or planes below.
		Anabatic winds are the opposite of Katabatic winds.
		Anabatic winds are typically daytime winds during the summer.

		An anabatic wind is one that flows up from the base of a hill or mountain.
		Anabatic also means blowing inland to take the place of warmer air but it is most often used to describe valley lift and sink rather than sea breezes.
		The reason for these winds is that areas of rock or alternating terrain heat up faster on one side of the valley as that is the side the sun shines on.

	AMS Glossary
		Although the pressure-gradient forcing is at its maximum at the slope, surface friction causes the peak in the anabatic wind speeds to occur above the surface, often by several tens of meters; if the surface heating is strong, however, the momentum will tend to be vertically mixed.
		At local scales anabatic winds are an along-slope component of mountain–valley wind systems.
		At scales ranging from the slopes of individual hills and mountains to the slopes of mountain ranges and massifs, anabatic flows represent the daytime component of mountain–plains wind systems.

	Precipitation (meteorology) - Gurupedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		It is possible to 'seed' clouds to induce precipitation by releasing a fine dust or appropriate chemical (commonly silver nitrate) into a cloud, encouraging droplets to form, and increasing the probability of precipitation.
		Orographic precipitation, also known as relief precipitation, is precipitation generated by a forced upward movement of air upon encountering a physiographic upland (see anabatic wind).
		In parts of the world subjected to relatively consistent winds (for example the Tradewinds), a wetter climate prevails on the windward side of a mountain than on the leeward (downwind) side as moisture is removed by orographic precipitation, leaving drier air (see

		The intensity of the thermal depends on the solar radiation, the condition of the ground, the atmospheric humidity and the radiation angle.
