The energy and momentum removed from the troposphere and lower atmosphere by the breaking of large amplitude mountain lee waves may be a significant factor in the evolution and maintenance of the large-scale atmospheric circulation. A program is outlined for improving knowledge and understanding of this phenomenon and for incorporating its effects into numerical simulation and forecasting models.
