Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005674

A localized area of relatively high pressure that forms on the lee side of a mountain range during a foehn event. This pressure maximum is associated with the descending, warming air and can influence local wind patterns. It often appears as an elongated bulge in isobaric contours on weather maps.
