Chinook, warm, dry, gusty, westerly wind that blows down the Rocky Mountains into the mountains' eastern slopes and the western prairies. The chinook, a native word meaning "snow eater," belongs to a family of winds experienced in many parts of the world where long mountain chains lie more or less at right angles to the prevailing wind. Examples include the foehn in Europe, the zonda in Argentina and the berg in South Africa
It experienced on the leeward side of mountains when descending air becomes compressed with increased pressure. These winds are experienced on the eastern slopes of the Rockies in USA and Canada in winter
In North America it is called Chinook, meaning ̳the snow-eater‘. But it has its blessing too, it hastens the growth of crops and fruits and thaws the snow covered pastures.
