Chinook winds and migraine attack onset in children and adolescents: A prospective longitudinal clinical cohort study. [PDF]
HeadacheABSTRACT Objective To explore the relationship between migraine attack onset in children and adolescents and Chinooks, which are dry and warm westerly winds that generally occur in the winter and bring about abrupt weather changes to the east of the Rocky Mountains in Southern Alberta, Canada.

Journal of Geography, 1903 At the present time there are three different winds called Chinooks. Each of them is essentially a warm wind, whose effect is most noticeable in winter. Under their influence snow is melted with astonishing rapidity and the weather soon becomes balmy and spring-like.

A Method for Predicting Chinook Winds East of the Montana Rockies [PDF]
Weather and Forecasting, 1993 Abstract Damaging foehn winds, locally known as “chinook” winds, are loosely defined and generally described for the east slopes of the Montana Rockies. Three upper-level patterns associated with chinook episodes in Montana are described and illustrated.

The Influence of Chinook Winds and Other Weather Patterns upon Neuropathic Pain [PDF]
Pain Medicine, 2011 Although Chinook winds are often viewed positively during a cold prairie winter, patients suffering with neuropathic pain (NeP) anecdotally report exacerbations of NeP during Chinooks and during other weather changes. Our objective was to identify if Chinook winds lead to acute exacerbations in pain severity in a NeP patient population.Prospective ...

Large Amplitude Lee Waves and Chinook Winds [PDF]
Journal of Applied Meteorology, 1967 Abstract Four types of chinook winds are described and features detectable in satellite pictures are shown. The hypothesis that large amplitude lee waves could be a possible driving mechanism for chinook winds is investigated for a case occurring in the Rocky Mountains during April 1963.

Water and energy fluxes over northern prairies as affected by chinook winds and winter precipitation
Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2018 Abstract Chinooks are the North American variety of foehn: strong, warm and dry winds that descend lee mountain slopes. The strong wind speeds, high temperatures and substantial humidity deficits have been hypothesized to remove important prairie near-surface water storage from agricultural fields via evaporation, sublimation and blowing snow, as ...

Time-varying flow-ecology relationships for an endangered fish population: Longfin Smelt in the San Francisco Estuary. [PDF]
Ecol ApplAbstract Major estuaries globally are experiencing fast‐paced changes in hydrology and ecosystem dynamics. However, connecting alteration of river flow regimes to estuarine fish population dynamics remains a challenge, partly due to the untested assumption that flow regimes, fish dynamics, and the resulting flow–ecology relationships are stationary (i ...

Weather and chinook winds in relation to spontaneous pneumothoraces.
Canadian journal of surgery. Journal canadien de chirurgie, 2009 Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) results from the rupture of blebs or emphysematous bullae. Rapid changes in weather may precipitate this process. The city of Calgary is well suited to examine the effects of weather and specifically the rapid changes in weather associated with a chinook event and the occurrence of SP.We performed a retrospective chart ...

Hydrometeorological response to chinook winds in the South Saskatchewan River Basin.
, 2016 The South Saskatchewan River Basin (SSRB) is amongst the largest watersheds in Canada. It is an ecologically diverse region, containing Montane Cordillera, Boreal Plains and Prairie ecozones. The SSRB is subject to chinooks, which bring strong winds, high temperatures and humidity deficits that alter the storage of water during winter. Approximately 40%
