## Abstract Features of the variations in katabatic flow along a simple slope in Athens, Greece are examined both observationally and from a simplified theoretical basis. When undisturbed periods of established flows are selected it is observed that the velocity and temperature fluctuations reveal
The reduced model for a large ice sheet Β―ow is uniformly valid when the bed topography is Β―at or has slopes relative to the horizontal no greater than order e, where e 2 is a very small dimensionless viscosity based on the geometry and Β―ow parameters. Real beds will have much greater slopes, of orde
