                         causes a strong barrier effect to the westerlies. In the some 
                         situations, the subtropical air moving over the mountains, can 
                         descend strongly on the lee side, causing a local warming and 
                         drying of the air, and resulting in the zonda winds. This is a 
                         foehn type of wind. The characteristics of the environment during 
                         zonda wind events are described using the 40km regional Eta model 
                         outputs. Isentropic surfaces show that the parcels of air 
                         transposing the Andes can dive from about 600hPa to 850hPa to the 
                         lee side, in a hydraulic jump resemblance. Strong decelerations to 
                         the upper level jet is verified. A winter case is chosen to 
                         illustrate the phenomenon in South America.",
