  "term": "Upslope wind",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A wind that blows up a topographic slope, often driven by differential heating or the forced ascent of air. During the day, solar heating of mountain slopes can create a thermal low, drawing air uphill. This type of wind can lead to orographic lifting, cloud formation, and precipitation on the windward side of mountains.",
