Abstract

The expected low-level wind speed maxima were observed, along with mass flux divergence down the 35° slopes. Profiles of turbulent kinetic energy, derived from high-frequency data taken during the two experiments, show a maximum near the canyon sidewalls. These features of the slope flows are disturbed occasionally on the main valley sidewall when the main valley flow impacts the sidewall; such disturbances are not observed in the tributary canyon. -from Authors
