Talk:Lee wave

message: Although 'rotor' is mentioned several times (indeed the article 'rotor (meteorology)' actually redirects here) I couldn't see a description of what a rotor actually is (other than the unclear "turbulent horizontal vortex is generated around the first trough") nor a clear explanation of how it relates to the lee wave (or part of a lee wave). Could someone who knows add this please? Could a diagram be added?  Alternatively, if appropriate and relevant, could the caption to the existing diagram be augmented with 'rotor' indication?

replies: text: OK, I've slightly edited the sentence in the lead to try to make it clear, so a casual, non-expert reader can imagine what's going on. Feline Hymnic (talk) 12:30, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Unless there are any objections, I would like to delete the section on Sailing completely. I believe the anonymous editor is getting confused with Katabatic wind, in particular, the Bora (wind). This section contains no citations. Other dubious points: Why should Bermudan rigged boats be particularly vulnerable? 'Sails pushed underwater' - Really? Fi9 (talk) 23:07, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

message: I reformatted the first sentence of the article. I reckon lee waves are not standing waves in the sense the term is applied in physics. "Standing wave" refers to a superposition of two waves with opposite headings. The two waves interfere and create stationary lobes that still oscillate. This is what happens in eg. musical instruments (strings and flutes).
Rather, a lee wave resembles the wake of a boat which is stationary in the boat's coordinate system. And it's exactly equivalent to a lee wave of a rock near the surface of a river. These are not to be considered standing waves. 91.152.71.203 (talk) 22:50, 19 December 2014 (UTC)
