about

There are four significant factors associated with the development of major downslope wind events:
(1) Strength of the cross-barrier flow (at about 850mb)
(2) Magnitude of the cross-barrier pressure gradient (measured as MSLP)
(3) A layer of stable air near ridge crest with lower stability above
(4) Presence of a critical level

3: Through Junkus
Across moorland and high, wild places tall — almost luminescent tussocks of junkus grow in blooms around the edges of wet pasture, bog and marsh. On the island of Islay by Glacan Daraich one night in late June a low gusting wind catches the circular stems of this rough grass and a whispering chorus of voices hiss in alarm to the microphones.
