29 Μαΐ 2024 · Lenticular clouds, or Altocumulus lenticularis, are stationary cloud formations known for their lens-like shape and smooth appearance. These clouds are often mistaken for unidentified flying objects (UFOs) due to their distinct and dramatic visual structures.
Figure 1: Lenticular cloud diagram. The above simplified diagram represents stable atmospheric flow from left to right. As the atmosphere is forced up and over a barrier, such as a mountain, lenticular clouds may form at different elevations downwind of the barrier.
11 Δεκ 2018 · They are the infamous “Lenticular Clouds.” These beautiful clouds are very unique to mountainous regions, and do not form over areas that cannot obstruct wind flow. While they are always a treat to observer, I thought I’d spend this blog talking a little bit about how they form.
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...
Recognize special clouds (e.g. castellanus, billow, lenticular, rotor, banner, fractus, etc.) Lenticular clouds have a lens-shaped or almond-shaped cross section. These clouds form in the crests of mountain waves (lee waves) if the air is relatively humid.
27 Απρ 2022 · Lenticular clouds (Lenticularis or len) are lens-shaped or almond-shaped stationary clouds. They are a specific form of stratocumulus, altocumulus, or cirrocumulus clouds. These clouds form around mountains, hills, and buildings and resemble UFOs.
This forms the uniquely-shaped clouds we know as lenticular clouds. In the right conditions, these can form what scientists call a “wave cloud.” Lenticular clouds are also unique in that sometimes you may see bright colors—what scientists call irisation —along their edges.
