On the Study of the Airflow Over Mountains by the Numerical Experiment

Abstract

Disturbances of the airflow originating from small-scale mountains where the hydrostatic relation does not hold good, are here discussed. Numerical experiments are carried out on the airflow over mountains with a two-layer model corresponding to the observed clouds over Mt. Fuji. The lee-wave cloud, hydraulic jump cloud and banner cloud over Mt. Fuji are dynamically studied, taking the effects of heating and cooling from the surface ground into account. © 1969, Japan Meteorological Agency. All rights reserved.
