MOUNTAIN BREEZE A katabatic wind, it is formed at night by the radiational cooling along mountainsides. As the slopes become colder than the surrounding atmosphere, the lower levels of air cool and drain to the lowest point of the terrain.
Mountain breeze A shallow, gusty downslope flow of cool air that develops at night in some mountain valleys.
Mountain Breeze- System of winds that blow downhill during the night.
Mountain breezes and valley breezes are due to a combination of differential heating and geometry.
It blows in the opposite direction of a mountain breeze. VAPOR PRESSURE The pressure exerted by the molecules of a given vapor. In meteorology, it is considered as the part of total atmospheric pressure due to the water vapor content.
