description abstractThis paper describes a regular oscillation observed in nighttime drainage airflow in a valley under relatively light upper-level wind conditions. The period of these oscillations is about 20 minutes with at least one harmonic at about 10 minutes. A strong coherence between tributary flow and main valley fluctuations was observed, with the phase of the tributary flow leading the valley oscillation; this indicates the importance of tributaries as major contributors to the dynamics of cold air flow in valleys.
