An Extraordinary Gale at the End of Winter in the Himalayas
1976
Journal of the Japanese Society of Snow and Ice
Preserved Fulltext
An extraordinary gale occured in the Khumbu region of the Nepal Himalayas on March 20, 1974. A maximum hourly mean speed of 25 m/s was recorded at Lhajung Station. The gale continued for half a day. It was probably a foehn wind from the Tibetan Plateau. The eastward movement of the subtropical jet stream associated with a blocking system over Kashimir, India, seems to have produced a northerly wind and this caused the sporadic gale in this area.
