  "term": "Valley Volume Effect",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "The reduction in volume of a valley (or basin) as compared to an equal depth volume with a horizontal floor. Because the valley volume is smaller, equivalent heat fluxes will cause larger changes in temperature in the valley volume than in the flat-floor volume.",
