An equalizing flow or compensation flow is a horizontal air flow that is caused by temperature differences.

Rising heated air arches pressure surfaces over the warming area. This leads to an upward mass outflow. The resulting pressure drop at the bottom causes a shallow depression to form . The air that sinks over cooler areas creates a high pressure area on the ground . This sets in motion a circulation which, by means of the equalizing flow, effects a pressure and heat balance from high to low in the lower layers.

In meteorology, balancing currents are the slope winds, parts of the periodic wind systems (mountain and valley wind, land and sea wind, monsoon ) and the trade winds . In houses, the draft when a window is opened and the corridor wind correspond to an equalizing current.
