Description:"In the western United States there are many foehn-type winds that occur near mountain ranges. Some of the strong, dry downslope winds are named and others are not. On the western slopes of the high Sierra Nevada (Figure I), the northeasterly foehn winds are cal led the Mono. Mono is from the name of an Indian tribe that lived in the area. Mono winds have seemed quite mysterious in the past because the winds suddenly swoop down the west slopes of highest ranges of the Sierra Nevada to their lowest slopes"--Introduction.
