I shot this out my window here in Hood River, Oregon, USA, looking
SE. Our winds are usually from the opposite direction all summer, but in the winter the surface wind is reversed and we get this low level wave. Not too impressive but I thought some of you might be interested. We can get to about 5K in this most times, but I got to 20K once in these east wind conditions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz-HDS7tyxU Boggs |

Boulder, CO has what the locals call the "28th Street Wave" which forms about 1/2 mile west of the airport over downtown Boulder. It can be contacted at pattern altitude and sometimes reaches 13K or enough to press westward to the secondary wave off the Continental Divide and thence to the primary wave. Flights above FL450 have been made that way. |
