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 allow reasonable latitude in making a boundary assumption at some high level.

## Abstract Lee wavelengths and vertical velocities have been computed for twenty‐six airstreams where reliable observations of the wave motion behind mountain ridges are available. The actual distribution of wind and stability has been modified in each case in order to approximate the internal par
