	Santa Ana wind - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Santa Anas are a type of foehn wind, the result of air pressure buildup in the high-altitude Great Basin between the Sierra Nevada and the Rocky Mountains.
		Santa Ana winds may get their name from the Santa Ana Mountains that lie in Orange County or the Santa Ana Canyon through which the winds are noted for their high speed.
		To the north, in the Santa Barbara area, the Santa Ana winds are weaker and are usually held at bay by topography: the local mountains offer no prominent outlets, in the form of passes or river valleys, from the elevated inland source areas.

	Santa Ana wind
		Santa Ana winds are warm, dry winds that characteristically appear in Southern California weather during late autumn and winter.
		The air is forced down the mountain slopes of the Transverse Ranges and out towards the western Pacific coast; the air mass is heated by compression as it falls and further heated and dried by a trip through the Mojave Desert before reaching the Los Angeles Basin at typical speeds of 35 knots.
		A similar phenomenon in the Rocky Mountains is called the Chinook winds.
