  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006793",
  "term": "Knik wind",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A strong, gusty southeasterly wind of the Matanuska Valley in south-central Alaska, noted around Palmer. It arises from a pressure gradient across the Chugach Mountains, so air descending the lee slopes warms by compression and produces a foehn effect with sharp temperature rises. It blows most often in winter, and an episode can last from one to ten days.",
