A katabatic wind, from the Greek word katabatikos meaning "going downhill", is a wind that blows down a topographic incline such as a hill, mountain, or glacier.
The cold form of katabatic wind originates in a cooling, either radiatively or through vertical motion, of air at the top of the mountain, glacier, or hill. Since the density of air increases with lower temperature, the air will flow downwards, warming adiabatically as it descends, but still remaining relatively cold.
Cold katabatic winds are frequently found in the early hours of the night when the solar heating has ceased and the ground cools by emitting infrared radiation. Cold air from extratropical cyclones may contribute to this effect.
Such winds, particularly when they occur over a wide area, are sometimes called fall winds.

tenho de ver se trato do mix da falésia 3 e marcar concerto de lançamento. isto tem andado complicado em termos de tempo livre. :S o split de josue com profan também tá quase a sair, falta masterizar uns detalhes e mandar imprimir a versão fisica asap. entretantos tenho andado a descobrir o t61, que parece ser um site bastante interessante para conhecer e dar a conhecer musica nova. deixo-vos a dica se lá quiserem criar um perfil para katabatic, tenho a certeza que seria bem reconhecido. eu pelo menos dava-vos um empurrão no listening count ;) http://www.thesixtyone.com/?referred_by_username=psenough1
Pessoal, foi um prazer ter-vos por Coimbra. Fiquei bem impressionado ao ver quatro moços pacatos (aparentemente) a partir a loiça toda em palco! eheh Até breve, espero!
