Katabatic Wind Formation

Katabatic Wind Formation is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by the generation of downslope winds due to the gravitational flow of cold, dense air masses originating from elevated cooling surfaces, distinguishing it from other wind formation mechanisms by its thermally driven, topographically channeled descent.
