A theoretical picture is presented of the orographic perturbations in the atmosphere, which tend to be smoothed out by the stable stratosphere. A solution for the nonlinear two - dimensional case is used in the calculations. The atmosphere is assumed to be incompressible, while the behavior is assumed to be adiabatic, with the stratosphere bounded at the top by a rigid horizontal wall. A singularity on the z axis is used to represent a mountain ridge as a localized feature. New data have been obtained on the interaction between the troposphere and the stratosphere, and a comparison is made with the results from earlier studies.
