Downslope Windstorms of San Diego County. Part I: A Case Study
Monthly Weather Review, 2016 Abstract The “Santa Ana” wind is an offshore flow that affects Southern California periodically during the winter half of the year, typically between September and May. The winds can be locally gusty, particularly in the complex terrain of San Diego County, where the winds have characteristics of downslope windstorms.

Synoptic structure of severe Zonda downslope windstorms in Argentina
Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems ScienceThe Zonda wind is a characteristic Argentinian downslope windstorm that occurs on the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains, creating extremely windy, warm and dry conditions with substantial socioeconomic impacts. This study aims to characterise and understand the synoptic-scale atmospheric dynamics, as well as the vertical structure of the atmosphere
