⛰️ Mountain Lee Waves: Scorer Parameter, Trapped Waves, Lenticular Clouds and Wave Soaring

Solve the linear mountain-wave equation over a ridge: change wind, shear, stability and ridge shape to see vertically propagating and trapped lee waves, momentum-flux drag, lenticular clouds on the crests and the rising air a glider can use.
