Journal: Russian Meteorology and Hydrology
Year: 2024

The probability of the mountain wave generation over the European part of the Russian Federation in May–August 2023 is studied. The conditions for the occurrence of strong downdrafts and leeward orographic turbulence are discussed for four domains including the mountain systems of the Urals, the North Caucasus, the Kola Peninsula, and Crimea. An analysis of circulation and thermodynamic conditions favorable for the generation of mountain waves over European Russia has been performed using the in
