An anabatic wind, from the Greek anabatos, verbal of anabainein meaning "moving upward", is a warm wind which blows up a steep slope or mountain side, driven by heating of the slope through insolation. [1] [2] It is also known as upslope flow. These winds typically occur during the daytime in calm sunny weather.
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.

Cold air on its own can be dangerous if a person isn't dressed for the weather, but high winds, which lead to wind chill, pose a significant risk, the National Weather Service said.
This chart lets you estimate the wind chill without having to do the math yourself. Find the value closest to the temperature at the top of the chart and the wind speed to the left.
In short, yes, air pollution can increase risks of developing or irritating symptoms of type 2 diabetes, according to multiple studies. A study by the Washington University School of Medicine and ...
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 ...
Southern California is bracing for another round of strong, potentially dangerous Santa Ana winds just over a month after a similar wind event helped fuel the Mountain Fire, which scorched nearly ...
