Bora is not a katabatic wind (in a sense that katabatic wind implies fall wind), it is downslope wind, it is not thermodynamicaly driven but kinematicaly (i.e. it is driven by the compression of the isentropes by the gravity-wave breaking in the middle troposphere), and it exhibits hydraulic like behavior. I am planing to heavily review this article. --Luksa 17:48, 30 October 2005 (UTC)

Catabatic winds are downslope winds. But the above doubletalk was not intended to be taken seriously. My question is, whether the catabatic winds that also occur in Novorossiysk are called bora. If not, the note at the foot of the article should be moved to Catabatic wind, and expanded. --Wetman 05:19, 24 July 2006 (UTC)--Wetman
