I think it does, actually, in that I would think that the humidity is
likely to be lower.

Isn't that the most common mechanism - cool dry air is heated
adiabatically when it sinks to the surface in a high pressure region.

In America cold air from the northwest passes over the Rockies and
loses moisture due to precipitation when it rises. Then it heads south
and sinks, thereby warming up.

purpose in many ways: through the selection of topics, distribution
of concerns, framing of issues, filtering of information, emphasis
and tone, and by keeping debate within the bounds of acceptable premises."
