Abstract
The observations of an extraordinary mountain wave event over the Pyrenees are examined in order to study the mesoscale structure, the veertical flux of horizontal momentum and the dynamics of mountain induced, internal gravity waves.... ..Preliminary results of this case study include...synoptic evolution and upstream conditions, .... meteorological parameters along the flight traverses,... orographic forcing and..the wave pattern,..fine structure of waves and turbulence patches,,..comparison of observed momentum flux to the predicted wave drag...
