This document is a comprehensive, though not all-inclusive, survey of atmospheric studies in complex terrain. The work is divided into three major sections: (1) physical concepts, (2) modeling, and (3) measurements. Each section contains a brief review and discussion of subtopics accompanied by a liberal number of references. We did not attempt to draw many specific conclusions but, in some cases, noted research areas where further work is indicated. Although the ASCOT program has concentrated on noctural drainage wind studies during the past two years, the reader will find material that spans a broader aspect of atmospheric flow in complex terrain.
