Diurnal wind system variation in the Appalachian mountain range. Mountain and valley breezes form through a process similar to sea and land breezes. During the day, the sun heats up mountain air rapidly while the valley remains relatively cooler. Convection causes it to rise, causing a valley breeze. At night, the process is reversed.

Golf became a booming industry in Sacramento and throughout the country during the pandemic, when a slew of people took up golf as a hobby to get outside while most public places were closed.
In a more general case, several effects may be present and if the synoptic wind is opposed to the anabatic wind, additional convergence occurs at the top of the mountain. [3] It is also possible to create a convergence zone behind the mountain when the synoptic wind can divide and go around it to meet again (ex. Puget Sound Convergence Zone ...
Wind can blow the equipment in a sporting event, changing the direction or travel of a ball. In golf the wind levels may influence the way a shot is taken. A headwind can slow runners, while they may gain wind assistance from a tailwind. Some sports rely on the presence of wind, especially surface water sports.
