Abstract: In 1985 Smith published a solution of a nonlinear, steady-state, two-dimensional, mesoscale problem concerning airflow crossing a mountain ridge. He used his solution to explain the mechanism of severe downslope winds. In ...

Abstract: The nonlinear, two-dimensional, steady-state, mesoscale problem of a stable stratified airflow above a mountain ridge is considered. The influence of turbulence is disregarded. It is assumed that the atmosphere above this ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions of a set of equations that couples the Ekman boundary layer and the Prandtl slope wind equations are presented for terrain inclinations with an upper limit of ?0.2. With the aid of the logarithmic ...
