Back 19

Land and Sea Breezes, Mountains, Temperature Inversion, Katabatic and Anabatic winds.

Front 20

What is a Land Breeze?

Back 20

A coastal breeze blowing at night from land to sea, caused by the differences in the rate of cooling of their respective surfaces.

Front 21

What is a Sea Breeze?

Back 21

A gentle wind that develops over bodies of water near land due to differences in air pressure created by their different heat capacity.

Front 22

What is Katabatic wind?

Back 22

A drainage wind, a wind that carries high-density air from a higher elevation down a slope under the force of gravity.

Front 23

What is Anabatic Wind?

A warm wind which blows up a steep slope or mountain side, driven by heating of the slope through insolation.

Front 24

What is a Heat Dome/ Air Shed?

Back 24

Ann airshed is part of the atmosphere that behaves in a coherent was with respect to the dispersion of emissions.

Front 25

What is Temperature Inversion

Back 25

A thin layer of the atmosphere where the normal decrease in temperature with height switches to the temperature increasing with height. An inversion acts like a lid, keeping normal connective overturning of the atmosphere from penetrating through the inversion.
