Mountain Wave Interactions

Mountain Wave Interactions is a geophysical phenomenon in atmospheric dynamics wherein oscillations generated by airflow over mountainous terrain interact nonlinearly with ambient wind shear, static stability, and adjacent wave modes, leading to energy transfer, wave breaking, or turbulence in the boundary layer.
