	Chinook Winds and Temperature
		Bora winds that strike Boulder blow from the west (down the eastern slopes of the Rockies), are relatively dry (due to the descending air), but are also cold (since the air is very cold to begin with before it crosses the Rockies).
		In Boulder, Bora winds are usually caused by a cold front passing over Colorado from the northwest.
		Bora winds, downslope winds that replace relatively warm light wind conditions with cold temperatures and strong wind gusts, may also be observed in Boulder.

	Katabatic wind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A distinction is drawn between winds that are warmer than their surroundings (generally called Foehn or regionally, Chinook, Santa Ana or Diablo) and those that are cooler (for instance the Mistral in the Mediterranean, the Bura (or Bora) in the Adriatic or the Oroshi in Japan).
		Cold katabatic winds are frequently found in the early hours of the night when the solar heating has ceased and the ground cools by emitting infrared radiation.
		A katabatic wind, from the Greek word katabatikos meaning "going downhill", is a wind that blows down a topographic incline such as a hill, mountain, or glacier.

	The Weather Doctor
		Along northern Mediterranean shores, these winds are called the Mistral and the Bora.
		Winds of great strength but not classified as hurricanes include the Frisk Vind in Sweden; the Landlash in Scotland; the Bufo in Japan, the Kohala in Hawaii, the Williwaw in Alaska and the Vinds-Gnyr in Iceland.
		Authors from Ancient Greece to Twentieth Century America have penned lines in praise or condemnation of the winds, but it is to the common men and women that we turn our ear for the poetic names of the vagrant wind.

	katabatic wind -- Encyclopædia Britannica
		The extremely cold winds along the coasts of Antarctica are fall winds; other examples are the bora in the Adriatic region of Italy and Croatia and the mistral in southern France.
		A wind tunnel is used by engineers and scientists to simulate air-flow conditions in the laboratory.
		This local wind system is typically encountered along coastlines adjacent to large bodies of water and is induced by differences that occur between the heating or cooling of the water surface and the adjacent land surface.

	Istria on the Internet - Geology & Meterology - Winds:: Bora--Adriatic Sea
		Bora winds do not normally cause problems for ships in port, but additional mooring lines are deployed when necessary to keep a ship safe at her berth.
		The traditional bora is a wind whose source is so cold that when the air reaches the coast, the dynamic warming caused by subsidence is insufficient to raise the air temperature to the level normally experienced.
		The bora of the Adriatic is a cold, north to northeast katabatic wind.

		The Levante is an easterly wind which can reach gale to storm force through the Strait of Gibraltar and gale force in the Easten Gulf of Cadiz and Western Alboran Sea.
		A winter and early spring event, the East Mediterranean Bora is a northerly wind which affects the Aegean Sea and East Mediterranean.
		Normally confined to the Northwest Mediterranean, high winds can extend as far south as the Strait of Sicily with gale to storm force winds through the Strait of Bonifacio.

		Bora--Aegean Sea: Cold, north to northeast katabatic wind flowing from the Balkans Peninsula and the mountains of western Turkey, through the Vardar and Dardenelles gaps and finally into the Aegean Sea (similar to Bora--Adriatic Sea).
		The gale-force Bora--Aegean Sea can also be produced when high pressure over the Balkans interacts with a low moving across Crete, south of the Aegean Sea.
		The flow is confined to the Aegean Sea by the Rhodope mountain range to the north of the Aegean Sea, the Boz Daglar to the east and the Pindus mountains to the west.

	Trieste Elegies
		Like the Provençal mistral and the New England nor'easter, this wind bears its own name and legend: la bora is said to periodically cleanse the city of its sins with three-day episodes.
		Trieste's moody winters fill the city with its signature wind, which whips down from the mountains in the northeast to the Adriatic at up to sixty miles an hour.
		The city sits on a strip of land called the Karst that is now in the far northeast of Italy, on the Slovenian border, but that has over time been host to the Illyrians, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Goths, the Venetian Empire, Napoleon's Empire, Austria-Hungary, Italy, Germany, Yugoslavia, and Italy again, since 1954.

		French Polynesia comprises the main island Tahiti and the surrounding 'Society Islands' including the stunning island of Bora Bora along with the much less known - but equally beautiful - Tuamotu, Marquesas and Austral archipelagos.
		The most popular of all the islands of French Polynesia and famed in history as the 'Island of Love', Tahiti is at once stunningly beautiful and gloriously relaxed.

	Shilshole Blog » Blog Archive » Tahiti to Pago Pago
		It was a five day trip from Bora Bora to Suwarrow; three of the days had steady 30 knots out of the East and two had 20-25 out of the East.
		The trip from Suwarrow to Pago Pago was mostly in light wind.
		I noticed that a lot of the leaving boats going west were heading to Suwarrow and I had no plan to stop there even though it was on the way.

		Being held from the purpose built marina town of Porto San Rocco, in the Bay of Trieste on the Adriatic, the 53 competitors from 6 nations have been forced to sit and watch the 40 knot Bora wind blow it's hardest.
		So far an amazing atmosphere and warm welcome has been extended to all competitors at the championship, and once the Bora drops, racing is sure to be frenetic and close.
		The area is once again thriving, and organisation of the J/22 World Championship was entrusted by the Italian Sailing Federation to both the Societ� Velica Barcola e Grignano and to the Porto San Rocco Yacht Club.
