Abstract

A numerical study of the effect of mountain shape on two‐dimensional lee‐wave flow shows that asymmetrical ridges are slightly more favourable than symmetrical profiles for the formation of lee waves, especially for short wavelengths. A technique is suggested for determining the lee wavelength when only part of the lee‐wave flow is observable.

## Abstract Wavelengths and variation of wave amplitude with height are computed for 19 airstreams in which lee waves have been observed. Comparison between the computed and observed wavelengths suggests that the tropospheric flow is sufficiently independent of conditions in the stratosphere to all
