Abstract
The easterly winds blowing out of the canyons along the west face of the Wasatch Range at times reach velocities which are hazardous to air traffic at airports near the mouths of these canyons. The object of this study is to investigate those factors which influence easterly canyon winds when the velocity stays above 20 knots for several hoursand clear air turbulence occurs. The ultimate goal of any such study is to find a good forecasting technique.
