Buran (wind)

The buran in Russian (Persian: بوران, Russian: буран, Italian: buriana) is a wind which blows across Iran, eastern Asia, specifically Xinjiang, Siberia, and Kazakhstan. Over the tundra, it is also known as пурга, purga. It is a wind of cold air, sometimes very strong, characteristic of the steppes of the Sarmatic plain, to the west of the Urals. The Russian Space Programme has named a class of spacecraft after the buran (see Buran programme).
