  • Warming during katabatic winds is usually due to adiabatic warming and increased mixing in the stable boundary layer so that warmer inversion‐layer air is brought down to the surface.
  • We simulate katabatic winds for different combinations of slope height and steepness.
  • Katabatic winds occur when air is cooled from below over sloping terrain.

Hope it helps!
