	MWFM - Mountain Wave Clouds over Jan Mayen
		One of the best prototypes for this kind of mountain wave activity is provided by Jan Mayen, a small Arctic island chain ~550 km north-east of Iceland (see map).
		The circular nature of Mount Beerenberg means that it acts rather like a rock in a stream, causing bow-shaped waves to radiate away from it as the atmospheric fluid flows over and around this obstacle to the flow.
		The MWFM 2.0 maps also forecast a broad region of extremely cold mean temperatures in the stratosphere over Jan Mayen on this day, which leads to predictions of large-scale polar stratospheric cloud decks being formed.
