A standing wave generated on the sheltered side of a mountain by an air current passing over or around it, and often made visible by the formation of clouds.
背风波（气流越过或绕过山时在背风面产生的驻波，经常因云的形成而显现）
Example sentencesExamples
The image shows lee waves and streak clouds just north of Utopia Planitia during late summer at 6: 51 local time.
This is a good example of a lee wave associated with an impact crater.
It is a localised lee wave so the air going across forms a little rounded peak.
They also suggest that the largest amplitude lee waves have a wavelength close to the ridge separation distance, suggesting a resonant wave response of the atmosphere to the valley geometry.
Significant lee waves are observed over the central East coast of Greenland in mountains west of Scoresby Sund, the location of a 110-km deep fjord.
