Abstract
Mountain wave scales which produce the primary contributions to the momentum flux are those large enough so nonhydrostatic effects are not dominant, and small enough that rotation does not dominate. The properties of the linear equations are described with appropriate simplifications, and a classification of mountain waves is presented, based on horizontal scale. The validity and limitations of hydrostatic irrotational mountain wave theory are treated. -from STAR, 18(24), 1980 English
