圣塔安那风

圣塔安娜风是一种典型的南加州季节性强风。圣塔安娜风是强烈且非常干燥的下坡风，起源于内陆，影响到沿海的南加利福尼亚州和北下加利福尼亚半岛。该风经常引起在加州的森林大火。^[1][2]

圣安娜风从沙漠中横扫，沿著加利福尼亚南部沿海，将野火焚烧成灰尘和烟雾带到远处太平洋上。 洛杉矶在这张图片的左上方，圣地亚哥靠近中心。

"(White)Scholars who have looked into the name's origins generally agree that it derives from Santa Ana Canyon, the portal where the Santa Ana River -- as well as a congested Riverside (CA-91) Freeway -- leaves Riverside County and enters Orange County. When the Santa Anas blow, winds can reach exceptional speeds in this narrow gap between the Puente Hills and Santa Ana Mountains."
