......Preconditions for the development of mountain waves
• General weather conditions
Surface– anticyclonal curve of the isobars on the edge of a high
pressure area ( inversion between 1500 and 2500 m)– Gradient of wind 36 km/h– Weak frontal system in parallel to the isobars
( increase of wind with the height constant wind direction)

Kinds of waves
• Mountain Waves– Obstacles for the undisturbed airstream are
hills or mountains
• Shear waves– Caused by vertical or horizontal wind shear
• Thermal waves– Obstacle is a thermal updraft

Preconditions for the development of mountain waves
• Topographical Conditions– Mountain ridge located diagonally to the wind direction
(deviation of the wind direction max. +/- 30º from the perpendicular direction)
• Vertical profile of temperature– stable layer of air mass at and above the height of the mountain
ridges
• Vertical profil of wind– Perpendicular components 15-27 kt– Linear increase of wind with the height (min. constancy)

...... Preconditions for the development of mountain waves
• General weather conditions
Higher levels– anticyclonal flank of the yet stream– Constant wind direction above mountain level– Wind speed at 500 hPa level: 60-115 km/h– Wind speed at 300 hPa level: 80-150 km/h– Narrow trough (SW-stream at the front of a trough)
