- Altocumulus cloud band in a mountain lee wave pattern
- W826301Z
- A view across the axis of a mountain lee wave pattern. Altocumulus cloud bands fill each crest but a higher, less defined and thinner cloud sheet is also present. The bright background layer strikes the senses as a wide silver lining around the shaded main band. Wiggles in the bands reflect the uneven flow from the variable height terrain upwind.
