  1. catabatic

    Catabatic refers to a type of wind that is created when air moves downward due to gravity, typically flowing from higher elevations such as mountains, hills, or glaciers, towards lower elevations or valleys. This air movement is usually caused by the cooling of air at higher altitudes, making it denser and heavier. It can be further intensified during the night or in cold weather. Catabatic winds can vary in intensity from a light breeze to a violent storm.
