| Summary: | The importance of mountain waves is underscored by the numerous studies that document the impact on the atmospheric momentum balance, turbulence generation, and the creation of se-vere downslope winds. Large-amplitude internal gravity waves are frequently generated when stably stratified air is forced to rise over topography. The amplification of upward propagating |
