What conditions are required for the formation of mountain waves?
A large mountain range, wind of at least 15 knots and increasing with height, blowing at roughly 90 degrees to the mountain range. Layers of instability and stability.
What could cause a low cloud base due to thermal rising?
A high dewpoint temperature.
How does surface temperature affect the cloud base in a parcel of air with a given moisture content?
If the surface temperature causes a steeper ELR than 3 degrees Celsius, the air particles will rise higher causing a higher cloud base.

How does the topography of New Zealand affect the climate in a northwest wind?
West coast areas will have low cloud with rain or drizzle and the east coast will have fine but turbulent weather.
