Title	Why windspeeds increase on high mountain slopes at night.
Creator	Baughman, Robert G.
Contributor	Intermountain Forest and Range Experiment Station (Ogden, Utah)
Description	Research findings support the contention that the well-documented increase of windspeed on high mountain slopes at night is due to the occurrence of a low-level jet wind. The report discusses various aspects of the meteorological situation most likely to produce these winds. It cites an example of a low-level jet wind that produced strong winds on a ridgetop fire at night.
