Describing wind that flows up a slope or mountain, usually caused by heating of the ground during the day.
From Greek 'anabatikos' (going upward), derived from 'ana-' (up) and 'bainein' (to go); the opposite of katabatic winds that flow downward.
Anabatic winds are why mountaineers and paragliders love flying in the afternoon—the sun heats the slopes, warm air rises predictably up the mountain, and if you understand this invisible river of air, you can soar for hours!
