Validation of a simple diagnostic relationship for downslope flows

Abstract A simple conceptual view of downslope flows allows a derivation of a diagnostic relationship between the maximum depth of the flow, its speed, the slope angle and the cooling flux. This relationship is obtained considering that the turbulence cooling causing the air to flow downslope is ess...
