You are on a boat in a fiord in Glacier Bay, Alaska.  It is a clear sunny day with temperatures near 20°C with no wind.  Within 5 minutes the sky is still clear but the wind is blowing at 30 knots down valley, the sea is filled with whitecaps, and the temperature drops to 5°C.  What just happened?
A) A storm front must have passed.
B) You experienced an afternoon sea breeze, blowing cold air off the ocean.
C) You experienced a Chinook wind.
D) You experienced a valley wind, caused by cold air spilling off an ice cap down the valley.
