MOUNTAIN WAVE THEORY VS FIELD TEST MEASUREMENTS,
Abstract
Mountain lee wave theories that currently exist do not give the definitive prediction of wavelengths and vertical velocities that is needed on the micro-meso scale for application in ballistic impact prediction at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. This is discussed by contrasting several theories with specific field test measurements. The need for improved theories is stressed. Preliminary results for the detection of mountain waves using lidar are presented. (Author)
