## 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
Atmospheric conditions inยฏuencing precipitation distribution over a large lee-side catchment in the Southern Alps of New Zealand are investigated. A signiยฎcant proportion of rainfall received in the upper Waimakariri catchment is generated by its spillover from the windward side of the alps during c
## Abstract The disturbance in an air current, whose velocity may vary with height, caused by irregularities in the ground, is obtained. For a waveโlike corrugation of the ground of wavelength 2ฯ/k, small enough for the earth's rotation to be neglected, the stream function of the disturbance satisf
## Abstract A twoโdimensional ridge produces a system of lee waves parallel to it, in a suitable airstream. Synthesizing an isolated hill by superposition of ridges inclined at various angles but intersecting in a point, and representing this by an integral, the interference pattern of the leeโwave
