Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007537

Local wind patterns that develop or become more pronounced during the nighttime hours, often due to differential cooling of land and water surfaces or terrain features. Examples include land breezes, which blow from land to sea, and katabatic winds, which flow down slopes. These winds can significantly influence local temperature and moisture distributions.
