Jet-effect wind

  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006741",
  "term": "Jet-effect wind",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An increase in wind speed that occurs when air is forced to flow through a constricted opening, such as a mountain pass or between tall buildings. This phenomenon is a consequence of the Venturi effect, where the conservation of mass requires the air to accelerate as the cross-sectional area decreases. Such localized accelerations can create significantly stronger winds than in surrounding areas.",
