Valley Breezes

Valley Breezes is a diurnal mesoscale atmospheric circulation characterized by upslope and up-valley flows during daytime, driven by differential heating between mountain slopes and the adjacent valley atmosphere, in which warmer air ascends the valley to form a low-pressure zone that draws in air from lower elevations.
