Abstract

Since New Zealand is a predominantly mountainous country with mean latitude in the 'Roaring Forties' it is not surprising that lee waves systems are fairly plentiful throughout the length of the two main islands..... On most of the occasions of the flights described, the wind was reasonably steady in direction at the wave levels and the wind speed increased with altitude...likewise the Scorer parameter in general showed a steady increase with height....
