Certain theoretical features of high altitude lee waves for some simple two‐dimensional models are described. It is shown that some of these allow an intense local radiation of lee waves in a nearly vertical beam into the high stratosphere (similar to the leakage upwards of short radio waves in a familiar electromagnetic theory). Some associated quasi‐resonance phenomena are noted.
