lenticular cloud
altocumulus lenticularis latin

Perhaps the most dramatic are its frequent lenticular cloud displays.

Irisation is sometimes seen along the borders of lenticular clouds.

Bright colors (called irisation) are sometimes seen along the edge of lenticular clouds.

The top of each wave peak is often marked by lenticular cloud formations.

An arc of lenticular clouds floated above against a Wedgwood sky.

The North Island's mountain ranges sometimes generate standing waves of long lenticular clouds.

Beyond was black sky, pinpointed with stars and threaded with floating, lenticular clouds.

Another theory states that most are natural phenomena such as lenticular clouds and balloons, which appear disc-like in some lighting conditions.

It was a brilliant day, blue sky, only a few stacked lenticular clouds over the lee slopes of the high peaks, visibility otherwise unlimited.

If the temperature at the crest of the wave drops to the dew point, moisture in the air may condense to form lenticular clouds.

Multiple lenticular clouds can be stacked on top of each other if there are alternating layers of relatively dry and moist air aloft.

Jagged terrain combines to produce unpredictable flow patterns and turbulence, such as rotors, which can be topped by lenticular clouds.

A fleet of saucer-shaped lenticular clouds had appeared in the distance, climbing over the polar plateau on a turbulent wave of air.

The sky is clear, with a flight of lenticular clouds hovering in it like spaceships; the air is warm; the sea is aqua.

Under certain conditions, long strings of lenticular clouds can form near the crest of each successive wave, creating a formation known as a "wave cloud."

A cap cloud is a special form of the lenticular cloud with a base low enough that it forms around and covers the peak, capping it.

A pileus or cap cloud, similar to a lenticular cloud, may form above the mountain or cumulus cloud generating the wave.

Lenticular clouds are stationary lens-shaped clouds that are formed downwind of mountains by lee waves if the air mass is close to the dew point.

Earthstiade Fred Saberhagen When Zalazar saw the lenticular cloud decapitate the mountain, he knew that the old magic in the world was not yet dead.

Its base is near the height of the mountain peak, though the top can extend well above the peak and can merge with the lenticular clouds above.

Lenticular clouds (Altocumulus lenticularis) are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, normally in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction.

One form of altocumulus, altocumulus lenticularis (lenticular cloud) can resemble flying saucers and may occasionally be mistaken for "unidentified flying objects".

It is a fairly uncommon phenomenon, most often observed in altocumulus, cirrocumulus and lenticular clouds, and very rarely in cirrus clouds.

The Sierra Wave is a type of lenticular cloud created by winds that lift off the Sierra Nevada mountain range of California.

A Föhn cloud is any cloud associated with a föhn, usually an orographic cloud, a mountain wave cloud, or a Lenticular cloud.

Lenticular clouds (Altocumulus lenticularis) are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form at high altitudes, normally in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction.

One form of altocumulus, altocumulus lenticularis (lenticular cloud) can resemble flying saucers and may occasionally be mistaken for "unidentified flying objects".

Cloud enthusiasts have been in their element this afternoon by a wonderful display of stationary lens-shaped clouds, called Altocumulus Lenticularis, visible across many parts of Yorkshire.
