Abstract
The purpose of this note is to point out that conjectures that stratospheric lee waves might be able to produce the required additional cooling necessary for nacreous (mother-of-pearl) cloud formation in the lower stratosphere are in good agreement with recent experimental results obtained by Lilly and co-workers for mountain-induced lee waves. A recent conjecture of a very moist stratosphere to account for the formation of stratospheric clouds thus appears unnecessary.
