cross-valley wind
A wind that blows across the longitudinal axis of a valley from one sidewall to another. This term is usually applied to a thermally driven (anabatic or katabatic) wind arising when unequal insolation on the two sidewalls causes a strong cross-valley temperature difference. Air then flows toward the more strongly heated sidewall. See mountain–valley wind systems.
