Lee-side eddies is a mesoscale atmospheric phenomenon characterized by the formation of counter-rotating vortices on the leeward side of mountainous terrain, resulting from flow separation and dynamic instability in the boundary layer under stable stratification and moderate to strong cross-mountain winds.
