  1. Question

    What are the different types of wind? or I guess it would be names of Wind. I heard someone on the golf channel say Cati_ _ winds?

    The person you heard on the golf channel was probably referring to katabatic winds (which flow from a glacier). Approximately one hundred different kinds of wind are defined on the website called Names of Winds . Additional information on wind can be found here.
