Nacreous clouds that form in the lower stratosphere sometimes have lenticular shapes. There are three main types of lenticular clouds: altocumulus standing lenticular (ACSL), stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL), and cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL), varying in altitude above the ground.
29 Μαΐ 2024 · Lenticular clouds form primarily in the troposphere, typically aligning perpendicular to the wind direction. This occurs when moist air flows over elevated terrain, such as mountains or hills. The key process behind the formation of lenticular clouds involves orographic lift, where an airflow encounters topographic barriers.
Lenticular clouds are a visible sign of mountain waves in the air. However, these waves can be present beyond the clouds, and may exist even when no clouds are formed. On the ground, they can...
31 Μαΐ 2017 · A lenticular cloud, or by the more scientific name Altocumulus lenticularis, is a fascinating cloud formation, if simply for its strangeness. Want to know how to spot one of these saucer-like...
Lenticular, or lee wave, clouds form downwind of an obstacle in the path of a strong air current. In the Boulder, Colorado, area, the obstacle is the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains, seen through clouds at the bottom of the picture.
20 Απρ 2024 · Lenticular clouds remind us of the intricate and dynamic nature of our atmosphere. Their formation and presence offer insight into the complex interplay of air currents, moisture and topographical features.
17 Σεπ 2024 · The lenticular cloud forms at the peak of those descending winds, where the air is coldest, leading to condensation. The resulting lenticular cloud is long and elongated, a result of the prevailing northwestern winds flowing perpendicular to the Rock and Pillar Range.
