Upslope Flow Dynamics

Upslope Flow Dynamics is a meteorological process in which moist air is forced to ascend along a topographic slope, leading to adiabatic cooling, condensation, and orographic precipitation, and is distinguished from other atmospheric lifting mechanisms by its direct dependence on terrain-induced vertical motion.
