On the Momentum Fluxes Associated with Mountain Waves in Directionally Sheared Flows

The direct impact of mountain waves on the atmospheric circulation is due to the deposition of wave momentum at critical levels, or levels where the waves break. The first process is treated analytically in this study within the framework of linear theory. The variation of the momentum flux with hei...
