Short summary
Mountain waves are excited when wind flows over elevated terrain. These waves travel through the atmosphere and alter the winds locally when they break, thereby impacting global-scale dynamic phenomena. Understanding mountain waves and their interactions, they need to be identified in measurement data or model simulations. This study provides a method for disentangling the mountain waves from atmospheric fluctuations of other origin in three-dimensional temperature data.
