anabatic wind
(redirected from Upslope flow)

   Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

anabatic wind

Warm wind that blows uphill in steep-sided valleys in the early morning. As the sides of a valley warm up in the morning the air above is also warmed and rises up the valley to give a gentle breeze. By contrast, a katabatic wind is cool and blows down a valley at night.
