Major Wind Systems: Katabatic Winds

Description
Katabatic winds warm by compression but originate when air is locally chilled over high elevations. The air becomes dense (with low temperature) and flows downslope.

Also referred to as Boras winds of the Balkan Mountains and the Mistral winds of France.
