Discussion
Which resonance can amplify a mountain wave response dramatically?
Answer: C
When the horizontal scale of the terrain matches a trapped wave mode of the atmospheric profile, the lee wave response is resonantly amplified and can produce severe downslope windstorms. The Boulder windstorm of 1972 is the classic documented example. Buoyancy frequency matching describes a different situation and the other options have no dynamical basis.
