The Amargosa Valley in eastern California desert often experiences a cold evening wind that blows downvalley. Which of the following might explain this phenomenon?
◦ Daytime heating causes a local low pressure that causes air to rush in by evening.
◦ Night time cooling upvalley produces a cold, unstable air mass that is funneled down the valley to produce a valley wind.
◦ Moist Pacific air rising over the Sierra Nevada Mountains produces mountain precipitation, and as this air spills off the eastern escarpment, it forms the valley wind.
◦ It is a nighttime land breeze and there should be an accompanying daytime seabreeze up valley.
