The drawing at the flymorninggside site looks funny to me. Are you SURE that
is accurate? It looks like ridge lift, not standing mountain wave. The wave
sets up *after* the mountain range, not above and in front as depicted in
the wave.htm link.
The best diagram I've seen was made by Dan Gudgel (works for the National
Weather Service in Hanford, CA). he may be able to
e-mail it.

I'm giving a (paid!) talk Saturday on soaring and soaring meteorology
to a group of power-rated pilots as part of a continuing education
aviation seminar. I have not been able to find a diagram which
depicts flow over a ridge showing both the lift on the upwind side and
the turbulence/sink on the downwind side and hope someone here might
know of one, particularly if available on the internet so I can get a
copy.
