Katabatic winds are cold, dense winds that descend from high elevations down to lower areas, typically in mountainous regions. They form when cooler air is displaced by warmer air, causing it to flow downhill due to gravity. These winds can increase in speed as they move down slopes, and they are often associated with clear, calm weather. Common examples include the "Bora" in the Adriatic region and the "Chinook" in North America.
