- Rare lenticular Stratocumulus cloud in standing lee wave crest
- W901913Z
- This is a very rare and unusual wave cloud situation. A standing wave crest amplifies cloud matter into arced lenticular strips as these high Stratocumulus clouds form and pass through it. Air condenses into cloud at left and evaporates again at right as the air descends out of the wave. The uneven cloud strips reflect variations in the moisture content of that layer.
