- Summary
- This paper describes a regular oscillation observed in nighttime valley air flows under relatively light upper level wind conditions. The period of these oscillations is about 20 minutes with at least one harmonic at about 10 minutes. These oscillations are important to pollutant dispersion in valley flows at night. The strong coherence of tributary flow and main valley oscillations and the fact that tributary oscillations lead valley oscillation indicate the importance of tributaries as major contributors to the cold air flow in valleys. 13 refs., 12 figs.
