The numerical result is to some extent similar to those of Urge scale
motion. The illustrations are oaitted for brevity

V. CONCLUSION
The veritcal motion at the top of boundary layer over Mountains
is affected by three factors, friction convergence, orographic forcing,
and joint effect of both friction and orographic forcing. Numerical
results show that these three factors are of the same order of
importance. The position of the geostrophic jet stream relative to the
major axis of an ellipsoid orography is also important in determining
the distribution of vertical motion.
