Abstract

The paper presents the observational evidence of mountain waves in the Indian region with particular reference to the Western Himalayas with the help of satellite pictures, Theoretical computations of the wavelengths of mountain waves have been made from the available wind and temperature data over northwest and northeast India and neighbouring regions. The results have been compared with the observational satellite data and have been found to agree well. The observed wavelengths vary between 10 and 30 km.
