| Summary: | are present at all heights, reaching the upper-most levels of the stratosphere (Fig. 4C). There is also evidence of more isolated mountain wave activity over the Alps and the Alaska-Yukon region. Mountain waves are largely absent in both the observations and model results over other mountainous regions, such as western North America, the Hima-layas, Greenland, and Scandinavia. This absence occurs in the MWFM results be-cause regional winds inhibit mountain wave propagation into the stratosphere. Despite the basic similarities, specific dif-ferences between the CRISTA data and MWFM results are also evident in Figs. 3 and |
