| Zusammenfassung |
| Radar observations at 46.5 MHz of
vertical-velocity perturbations at Aberystwyth (52.4°N, 4.1°W)
have been used to examine the incidence of mountain waves and their dependence
on local topography and the wind vector at low heights. A contrast is drawn
between the effects of easterly winds passing over major topographical features
to the east of the radar site and those of westerly winds crossing low coastal
topographical features to the west. Estimates are made of the vertical flux of
horizontal momentum associated with mountain waves, and the general influence of
mountain-wave activity on vertical-velocity measurements at the site is assessed. |
