... at night the air in contact with the mountain is cooler than farther from the land mass and so the cooler air sinks along the slope producing the mountain breeze.  3, record 1, English, - mountain%20breeze

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT

mountain breeze ... As the slopes become colder than the surrounding atmosphere, the lower levels of air cool and drain to the lowest point of the terrain. It may reach several hundred feet in depth, and extreme cases, attain speeds of 50 knots or greater. It blows in the opposite direction of a valley breeze.  2, record 1, English, - mountain%20breeze

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 3 CONT

During the night, the air along the mountain slopes begins to cool quickly because of longwave radiation loss ... As the air cools, it becomes more dense and begins to flow downslope causing a mountain breeze. Convergence of the draining air occurs at the valley floor and forces the air to move vertically upward. The upward movement is usually limited by the presence of a temperature inversion which forces the air to begin moving horizontally. This horizontal movement completes the circulation cell system. In narrowing terrain, mountain winds can accelerate in speed because of the venturi effect. Such winds can attain speeds as high has 150 kilometers per hour.  4, record 1, English, - mountain%20breeze

The phenomenon of gravity flow of a liquid relative to another liquid, or of relative flow within a liquid medium due to difference in density. [Definition standardized by ISO.]  2, record 6, English, - density%20current

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 1 CONT

A density current flows because of the pull of gravity and the density difference, and it stops moving when the two fluids mix, or when the current uses up its energy.  3, record 6, English, - density%20current

Record number: 6, Textual support number: 2 CONT

Density currents are of considerable practical importance. For example, the deposition of sediment from turbidity currents—i.e., density currents in which the density difference is caused by suspended sediment—in lakes may result in a rapid decrease of reservoir capacity. Equally significant, the industrial discharge of large amounts of heated water may generate density currents that have adverse effects on neighbouring human or animal communities. Because of such considerations, many experimental studies on the properties of density currents have been undertaken.  4, record 6, English, - density%20current
