| Abstract: | Impacts of different terrain configurations on the general behaviour of idealised katabatic flows are investigated in a numerical
model study. Various simplified terrain models are applied to unveil modifications of the dynamics of nocturnal cold drainage
of air as a result of predefined topographical structures. The generated idealised terrain models encompass all major topographical
elements of an area in the tropical eastern Andes of southern Ecuador and northern Peru, and the adjacent Amazon. The idealised
simulations corroborate that (i) katabatic flows develop over topographical elements (slopes and valleys), that (ii) confluence
of katabatic flows in a lowland basin with a concave terrainline occur, and (iii) a complex drainage flow system regime directed
into such a basin can sustain the confluence despite varying slope angles and slope distances. |
