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.
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.
Lenticular clouds are stationary lens-shaped clouds that form in the troposphere, normally in perpendicular alignment to the wind direction. There are three types of lenticular clouds: altocumulus standing lenticular (ACSL), stratocumulus standing lenticular (SCSL), and; cirrocumulus standing lenticular (CCSL) Formation
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...
