背風波

在氣象學中，背風波是大氣中的定態波。山地波是背風波最常見的形式，是大氣內部重力波。背風波是1933年由兩名德國滑翔機飛行員漢斯·多伊奇曼和沃爾夫·希爾特（英語：Wolf Hirth）在克爾科諾謝山上空發現的^[1]^[2]^[3]。

^ On March 10, 1933, German glider pilot Hans Deutschmann (1911–1942) was flying over the Riesen mountains in Silesia when an updraft lifted his plane by a kilometer. The event was observed, and correctly interpreted, by German engineer and glider pilot Wolf Hirth (1900–1959), who wrote about it in: Wolf Hirth, Die hohe Schule des Segelfluges [The advanced school of glider flight] (Berlin, Germany: Klasing & Co., 1933). The phenomenon was subsequently studied by German glider pilot and atmospheric physicist Joachim P. Küttner (1909 -2011) in: Küttner, J. (1938) "Moazagotl und Föhnwelle" (Lenticular clouds and foehn waves), Beiträge zur Physik der Atmosphäre, 25, 79–114, and Kuettner, J. (1959) "The rotor flow in the lee of mountains."
