uphill and downhill wind effects

Uphill and downhill wind effects refer to the changes in wind speed and direction that occur when air moves up or down a slope or hill. When air flows uphill, it tends to slow down and change direction, typically resulting in a local decrease in wind speed. Conversely, when air descends downhill, it accelerates and may experience a change in direction, leading to an increase in wind speed. These effects can influence weather patterns, temperature gradients, and local airflow characteristics in hilly or mountainous regions.
