Description
From this study it appears that until accurate observations of the state of the atmospheric mesostructure are available, no unique correlation between Ri and clear air turbulence (CAT) should be expect·ed to exist.

Description
Satellite photographs during the summer months frequently reveal a weather situation in which strong convective development is observed over the Rocky Mountains and several hundred kilometers to the east of the mountains, while the region immediately to the lee is essentially cloud free. It is proposed that an orographically induced mesoscale wave phenomenon may produce this situation.
