Düsenwind

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005184

A localized, strong, and often gusty wind that occurs when air is forced through a narrow gap or valley, accelerating due to the Venturi effect. This phenomenon is common in mountainous regions where topography constricts airflow. It can lead to significantly higher wind speeds than in surrounding areas.
