Abstract
The governing equations for the steady two‐dimensional mountain wave problem are presented with both height z and entropy s as vertical coordinates. Some intrinsic advantages of using s are discussed. A formal scaling of the equations for a wide mountain is shown. Some of the classical problems in isothermal atmospheres and multilayer models are reviewed. A discussion of the time‐dependent linear problem is presented as a problem of wave motion on an interface. The final part of the paper contains a brief review of the recent numerical work on the steady two‐dimensional problem. Some suggestions for further work in theoretical and numerical finite amplitude problems are made.
