Temperature Gradient Forcing

Temperature Gradient Forcing is a meteorological mechanism that belongs to the class of atmospheric forcing processes, differentially characterized by the induction of anabatic winds through the localized heating contrast between a sloped surface and the adjacent air layer, thereby generating upward-directed buoyancy-driven airflow.
