Question

Why are katabatic winds associated with temperature inversioons​

Answer 1

• 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.
