Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003659

A strong, cold, and dry katabatic wind that descends from Mount Athos in Greece, typically blowing towards the Aegean Sea. This local wind is caused by the cooling of air over the mountain slopes, which then flows downslope under gravity. It can create turbulent conditions and affect local maritime activities.
