Any wind blowing down the slope of a mountain.

A wind that is created by air flowing downhill.

Any wind blowing downslope. Usually cold.

Most widely used in mountain meteorology to denote a downslope flow driven by cooling at the slope surface during periods of light larger-scale winds; the nocturnal component of the along-slope wind s [..]

Downslope wind caused by greater air density on the slope than at some distance, horizontally from it. The wind is associated with surface cooling of the slope.

wind blowing down a mountain slope.

Any wind blowing down an incline. If warm, it is a foehn. If cold, it may be a fall wind or a gravity wind.

A wind that is created by air flowing downhill. When the air is warm, it may be called a foehn wind, and regionally may be known as a Chinook, or Santa Ana . When this air is cool, it is called a drai [..]

A valley or drainage wind formed as cold dense air drains down a valley. Examples are the Mistral in southern France and the strong winds blowing of the high Antarctic plateaux.

From the Greek word katabatikos meaning 'to flow downhill', it is the technical name for a drainage wind, a wind that carries high density air from a higher elevation down a slope under the force of gravity.

Any wind blowing downslope. See fall wind, foehn.

A wind that is created by air flowing downhill.

A wind which blows down a slope.

A wind

A wind that is created by air flowing downhill.

A wind that is created by air flowing downhill. When this air is warm, it may be called a foehn wind, and regionally it may be known as a Chinook or Santa Ana. When this air is cold or cool, it is called a drainage wind, and regionally it may be known as a mountain breeze or glacier wind. The opposite of an anabatic wind.
