Wind Speed-up Effects

Wind Speed-Up Effects is the phenomenon in atmospheric boundary layer dynamics wherein wind velocity increases over elevated terrain features due to flow convergence and conservation of mass, distinguishing it from other terrain-induced flow modifications by its specific dependence on topographic slope and upstream flow conditions.
