Abstract Winds, temperatures, and carbon monoxide concentrations were measured in a cross-section of the North Saskatchewan River Valley in central Edmonton on a clear October evening with cross-valley winds. The evolution of a complex asymmetrical valley inversion with vertical temperature gradients up to 12C (100 m)−1 on the north-facing slope and 6C (100 m)−1 on the south-facing slope is described. The inversion is accompanied by downslope winds of about 0.4 m s−1 and a reversal from upvalley to downvalley winds. Carbon monoxide concentrations on the south-facing slope exhibit a well-defined evening maximum and an immediate response to the reversal from upslope to downslope winds.
