Downslope Windstorms

Downslope Windstorms is a type of regional atmospheric phenomenon within mountain wind systems characterized by strong, gusty, and often turbulent winds that descend from mountainous terrain through the acceleration of air masses forced over topographic barriers and amplified by gravity-driven flow and resonance effects in stably stratified layers.
