Lee wave clouds
I'm after some information on lee wave clouds. One developed over Sydney yesterday and had the appearance of being exactly the same shape as the western border of the ranges with a clearing edge from where it started. It was easily visible from the ground. I've never seen one to this extent in Sydney before and I've since spent some time both Googling and back in the MET texts trying to find out something about them, but haven't been able to glean much more than basic information. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You don’t even have to leave the country to experience lee wave in a glider.
In Australia gliding clubs in SE Queensland, South of Canberra, western Victoria, and SW Western Australia regularly fly lee wave. The Australian altitude record (over FL330) was flown from just north of Cooma back in 1994.
It is called Sky Surfing
