	Learn about the Famous Chinook Winds
		Alexander Mackenzie referred to the Chinook as a “perfect hurricane”, and in 1877, David Thompson stated that the temperature rose as much by heading west as it did by traveling south.
		The winds are caused by moist weather patterns, originating off the Pacific coast, cooling as they climb the western slopes, and then rapidly warming as they drop down the eastern side of the mountains.
		The Chinook usually begins with a sudden change in wind direction towards the west or southwest, and a rapid increase in wind speed.

	Origin of the name "Chinook" helicopter.
		Chinooks are normally formed when very moist air moves in from the Pacific Ocean and condenses, depositing heavy rain on the western, or leeside slope of the Rockies.
		From the Dalles to the east, the Chinook tribes established contact with the Nez Perce, who were the main outlet to the northern Plains via their associations with the Crow and to a lesser extent the Flathead.
		This decision concludes that the Chinook petitioner did not demonstrate that it meets all seven mandatory criteria to be acknowledged as a tribe with a government-to-government relationship with the United States.

		In North America, it is called chinook because it seemed to the first white settlers encountering the strange winds that they emanted from the territory of the Chinook Indians and the name stuck.
		Long periods of chinook winds have also been said to cause plants to come out of dormancy only to be destroyed when the cold weather returns as the chinook ends.
		A true chinook wind gets its heat from the combined effect of condensation at the crest of the mountain range and air compression as the wind moves downhill.

	Montana Earth Science Picture of the Week
		In both cases the sudden warming was due to a weather phenomenon known as a Chinook wind.
		Although warm winter winds happen in many parts of the world, the area of Montana outlined by the yellow line is one place where “Chinooks” commonly form.
		The key to the Chinook effect is that when the molecules of water vapor freeze, they release heat to their surroundings.

	Chinook Winds and Temperature
		As the air descends the foothills to the west of Boulder, it is compressed by the higher pressure at lower elevations.
		Since chinook winds blow from the west across the mountains, they are caused by High pressure west of Boulder, Low pressure over or east of Boulder, and strong westerly winds observed at mountain top level.
		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).

	Weather Elements: The Chinook
		The fohn-wind family consists of winds that are warm and dry because their air has been warmed by compression as they flow over the mountain ranges and then down the leeward slopes.
		Impressive as the chinook is as a wind, the temperature changes it brings can be astonishing, often as much as 20-25 Celsius degrees (36-45 F degrees) in an hour.
		Chinook winds may last from only a few hours to a few days, sometimes even persisting for several weeks.

	The Chinook
		Fohn winds flow off mountain ridges, usually in the lee of the prevailing wind direction.
		The fohn-wind family consists of winds that are warm and dry because their air has been warmed by compression as they flow over the mountain ranges and then down the leeward slopes.
		When these relatively warm and very moist winds make landfall, they encounter the coastal mountain ranges of British Columbia, they are forced to rise over the mountain barrier on their trek eastward.

	Newport News-Times: Diligence draws big names to Chinook Winds
		Jim Kikumoto, general manager of Chinook Winds Casino and Convention Center, said good timing, hard work, and an intricate understanding of how the concert business works are the reasons INXS is performing at the resort tonight.
		Although all of Chinook Winds' resort options are designed to work in this kind of synergy for everyone who visits, he knows that INXS is bringing a different type of demographic group to the casino.
		But the other way is how Chinook Winds does it: "We arrange a flat rate, not based on seat capacity and we get them at a flat rate for two shows for two nights," he said.

	DG DISPATCH - HEADACHE: Canada’s Chinook Winds Linked To Migraine (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The headache records were compared against meteorological data, with particular attention paid to the onset of a chinook wind each winter and the wind speed on the days when they reported their headaches.
		Out of 213 days where the mean wind velocity was in excess of 38 km/hr, the subjects who were keeping diaries experienced a mean number of 45.5 migraine headache - that is, they had a migraine around one-quarter of the days when there were high winds.
		The changes in atmospheric pressure that precede a chinook also caused an increase in migraine headaches, but this was not related to the wind speed.

		The increased air pressure compresses and warms the winds as they move eastward.
		These warmed winds are called chinooks and have been known to raise temperatures by 25-35 degrees Fahrenheit in only a few hours.
