The helm wave of Cumbria, England, is another smaller-scale example of a lee
wave. lenticular cloud /len-tik-yŭ-ler/ See lenticularis. lenticularis /len-tik-yŭ-lar-is,

The parameter Zn is a rough measure of the vertical distance between the
ground surface and the altitude where most of the lee wave energy is located.
Smith (1976) identifies the first term in parentheses in (4.77) as the sensitivity of
the wave ...

FIGURE 3.29 Air current over mountains, showing superposition of lee-wave
trains. The mountain ridge (indicated by dashed line of mountain form) produces
a certain wave pattern (dashed streamline) and the other mountain (solid line) ...

Storm and Cloud Dynamics
By applying the wave equation to each separate layer, he found probably the
most important dynamic requisite for periodic lee-wave development, namely,
that l2 must be less in an upper layer than in a lower layer of sufficient depth. This
can ...

By discretizing (3.21) the resonant wavemodes can be sought and the linear
trapped lee wave solutions can then be computed (e.g. Sawyer 1960; Vergeiner
1971). For three-dimensional flows the resonant wavemodes will in general lie
along ...

Note that (5.5.14) is equivalent to (5.5.8) of the baroclinic lee wave theory except
that the streamfunction is used. Assuming y(t, x, y, z)1⁄4 (x, y, z)eÀiot and applying
the Fourier series expansion to the above system reduces it to an eigenvalue ...
12.7, a satellite photograph illustrates an example of numerous lee waves
occurring in a regime of strong northwesterly winds aloft over the mountainous
western United States. It is not uncommon for lee wave clouds and clouds
associated ...

In practice, mountain waves are not typically generated by quasi-infinite linear
ridges of mountains (assumed for convenience above to make the problem 2-D).
Also, observed lee wave cloud features imply that gravity waves generated near

ADVANCES IN GEOPHYSICS
Trains of lee-wave clouds have also been observed behind craters in the
atmosphere of Mars and may eventually be used to estimate the wind speed and
stability of that atmosphere. The comparison of predicted and observed lee-wave
