Abstract:
With the development of urbanization, the greater number of cities are built near mountains or valleys. Various characteristics of mountainvalley breezes are shown in different places due to geographical locations and meteorological conditions. Mountainvalley breezes play an important role in local wind regimes and climatic features, and are also related to the evolution of inversion and pollutant concentration. Based on the observation analysis, theory and numerical simulation, the main methods of studying mountainvalley breezes, this study focuses on the achievements of mountainvalley breeze researches in China. The interactions with other mesoscale circulations (landsea breeze, landlake breeze, urban heat island, vegetation breeze, glacier wind circulation) are discussed. Impacts of mountain circulation including mountainvalley breeze on atmospheric pollution are also reviewed. At last, the paper concludes with an outline of mountainvalley breeze researches in China and rises some open questions that need to be further studied and discussed.
