## Abstract Although orographic lee waves are probably common over the British Isles, their amplitude is so critically dependent on airstream characteristics and on the scale of local topography that they are likely to be insignificant unless a variety of conditions is satisfied. Precise criteria f

## Abstract Three kinds of flow over unlevel ground are defined according to their scale ‐ aerodynamic, barostromatic, and geostrophic flow ‐ and it is seen that the practical difficulties in the way of obtaining the correct value of the relevant non‐dimensional numbers in model experiments are alm
Four years of continuous tower data collected at the Rise National Laboratory are analyzed to study the climatological influence of a gentle slope on surface winds. Under very stable nocturnal conditions, the surface air tends to flow down the slope, at least intermittently, regardless of the direct
## Abstract Separation of flow may be two‐dimensional when the wake or eddy is closed, or three‐dimensional when the air is continuously replaced. It often occurs at a salient edge. When it occurs the effect of the mountain on the high‐level flow is reduced. If the airflow is temporarily induced to
