Observational analysis investigates wind reversals in a valley, suggesting terrain influences their timing.

This research aims to analyze the characteristics and predictability of wind reversals during morning and evening transitions in a small valley.
Utilized observational data alongside WRF model simulations to assess wind conditions.
Focused on timing of wind reversals in relation to surface heating and cooling.
Conducted terrain sensitivity experiments to evaluate the influence of local terrain features.
Complete wind direction reversal occurs only when the temperature difference exceeds a specific threshold.
WRF simulations successfully reproduce observed wind flow conditions and reversal timings.
Local terrain, including nearby hills, significantly modulates downslope winds in the valley.

Zhang et al. (2026) studied this question.
