Abstract

 In the present paper effect of mountain barrier which is very steep on a airflow has been studied. The intensity of blocking effect depends on the steepness of a mountain as well as on the height. A smooth mountain does not block the flow and hence the stretching and shrinking effect of vortex tube produces stationary planetary waves, while a steep mountain blocks the flow and the waves are not produced. For this purpose westerly jet has been Studied to see the dynamical effect of the mountains on Its structure and movement over the eastern Asia.
