ER-2 mountain wave encounter over Antarctica - Evidence for blockingOrographically forced large-amplitude gravity waves (mountain waves) encountered during the AAOE experiment by ER-2 on September 22, 1987 over Alexander Island (73-70 deg W, 69-72 deg S) were analyzed using a three-dimensional steady-state model of stratified flow over realistic topography, similar to the model used by Smith (1980). Taking into account the effects of low-level flow blocking, reasonable agreement was obtained between the model and observations, indicating that blocking may be an important feature of real flow over topography.
