Okay, but can somebody please explain to me why, in the case of katabatic winds, the 'warm' air that gets displaced is actually warmer than the surrounding air? Seeing as , during the day, hot air leaves the bottom of the valley as anabatic winds, would the air there not be colder than the surrounding air, keeping the atmospheric pressure high compared to the top of the slopes?
no, there’s cold air at the top of the slopes remember so the cold war dispacles the warm air at the valley bottom and it forms and inversion layer and now there’s cold air the bottom of the valley
You’re literally the best geo teacher ever!
Thanks! I'm writing tomorrow
Sailors make this out to be the most complicated thing to understand in the world. Thanks for proving them wrong.

Thanks
Reminds me of how tornadoes form, but vertical instead of horizontal.

What is inversion??
