backscatter intensity, right: horizontal wind direction. Thin black lines demark in<strong>version</strong>s.<br />

valleyair overasnow-coveredvalley floor.The multiplelayering originatedfrom an interlacing<br />

of down-valley (wind direction around 190 ◦ ) and down-slope (wind direction around 230 ◦ )<br />

flows. The layers are separated by temperature in<strong>version</strong>s and each higher layer is potentially<br />

warmer than the next lower layer. They persisted nearly the whole day because no vertical<br />

mixing took place in the stably stratified valley atmosphere.<br />
