Emergence definition

Anabatic wind arises as a local, upslope wind that forms when solar radiation heats a mountain slope, warming the air closest to the ground and causing it to rise, creating a circulation of air that flows downhill, a result of the dynamic state of the atmosphere governed by geological processes and landforms.
