there is not complete reversion of the wind,
but a diurnal change of its direction.
1t has often been observed in Missouri and
Kansas during clear warm weather, when the
prevailing wind is generally southerly er a
little west of south, that in the morning, when
the surface air is cooled down, and tends to flow
down the incline the wind is southwestery.
As the heat of the day increases the wind grad
ually changes around toward the south, and
near evening is from n s0utheasterly direction,
the tendency now being for the heated surface
air to move gently up the slope toward the
mountains. During the night if no abnormal
disturbance of any kind takes place. it always
gets back again to a southwesterly direction.
