The drawing at the flymorninggside site looks funny to me. Are you SURE that
is accurate? It looks like ridge lift, not standing mountain wave. The wave
sets up *after* the mountain range, not above and in front as depicted in
the wave.htm link.
The best diagram I've seen was made by Dan Gudgel (works for the National
Weather Service in Hanford, CA). ***DELETED*** he may be able to
e-mail it.

Tim,

The morningside diagram _is_ misleading - lift does occur upwind of the
ridge but it is normal "ridge" lift and disconnected from the wave flow.
I will contact Dan Gudgel since I know him, thanks for the lead. BTW
it's a bad idea to include an email address in a RAS posting unless it
is first altered or "munged" to prevent it's being harvested by spammers.
