A valley breeze develops during the day as the sun heats the land surface and air at the valley bottom and sides ... As the air heats it becomes less dense and buoyant and begins to flow gently up the valley sides. Vertical ascent of the air rising along the sides of the mountain is usually limited by the presence of a temperature inversion layer. When the ascending air currents encounter the inversion they are forced to move horizontally and then back down to the valley floor. This creates a self-contained circulation system. If conditions are right, the rising air can condense and form into cumuliform clouds.  3, record 1, English, - valley%20breeze

Vent anabatique soufflant le jour le long des pentes, des vallées vers les montagnes.  3, record 1, French, - brise%20de%20vall%C3%A9e

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Brise de pente et brise de vallée. De jour, le réchauffement de l'air le long des pentes produit un flux ascendant vers les crêtes, d'où un courant général vers le haut de la vallée, c'est la brise d'aval. De nuit, au contraire, l'air se refroidit au contact du sol et a tendance à descendre le long des pentes vers le fond de la vallée où s'instaure un courant général vers le bas de la vallée, c'est la brise d'amont.  2, record 1, French, - brise%20de%20vall%C3%A9e
