Orographic Channeling

Orographic Channeling is a meteorological phenomenon in which synoptic-scale winds are steered and confined by topographic barriers, such as mountain valleys or gaps, resulting in enhanced, directionally aligned airflow that deviates from the large-scale wind pattern due to the constraining influence of terrain.
