Abstract
It is concluded that parametrization schemes that incorporate wave drag by use of a monochromatic wave response need to be modified to include the presence of a spectrum of waves from realistic wave sources, such as orography. It appears that the required modifications are principally quantitative adjustments to eddy diffusion coefficients, which take account of the fact that a saturation wave-amplitude cannot be attained for a unique value of the diffusion coefficient. -from Authors
