Terrain-induced Circulation

Terrain-Induced Circulation is a meteorological phenomenon characterized by localized atmospheric circulation patterns that arise due to the differential heating and cooling of air in proximity to complex topographic features, such as mountains and valleys, where the interaction between solar insolation, surface temperature gradients, and gravitational forces drives thermally direct winds along sloped terrain.
