BORA

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 241 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BORA , an Italian name for a violent cold northerly and
north
 -easterly wind, common in the Adriatic, especially on the Istrian and Dalmatian coasts. There is always a northern tendency in the winds on the
north
  Mediterranean shores in winter owing to the cold air of the mountains sliding down to the sea where the pressure is less. When, therefore, a cyclone is formed over the Mediterranean, the currents in its north-western area draw the air ,from the cold northern regions, and during the passage of the cyclone the bora prevails. The bora also occurs at
Novorossiysk
  on the
Black
  Sea. It is precisely similar in
character
  to the
mistral
  which prevails in
Provence
  and along the
French
  Mediterranean littoral.
