A three dimensional linear model of orographically forced gravity waves (mountain waves) using realistic topography is used to simulate a high altitude (20 km) ER-2 encounter with a large mountain wave over Alexander Island (72 ¿W, 69¿--72 ¿S). Reasonable agreement between the linear model and observations is obtained if the effects of low-level flow blocking are taken into account. ¿ American Geophysical Union 1990
