- Any wave disturbance that is caused by, and is therefore stationary with respect to, some barrier in the fluid flow. Whether the wave is a gravity wave, inertia wave, barotropic wave, etc., will depend on the structure of the fluid and the dimensions of the barrier. 2. A mountain wave occurring to the lee of a mountain or mountain barrier. These waves can become visible in the form of lenticular or trapped lee-wave clouds.
