Clouds associated with the short mountain lee waves were observed at Matheran in the Western Ghats on 6 March 1965. In this paper details of the observed lee waves are given. The environmental profile of wind and temperature on this day have also been studied with a view to see weather the conditions were favourable for the formation of the mountain lee waves which were actually observed at Matheran.
