11 Απρ 2024 · Lenticular clouds, named for their resemblance to lentils (a type of bean), are stationary-looking clouds with a distinctive lens or saucer shape. They most frequently appear in mountainous areas where stable air currents are forced to rise over mountain peaks.
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.
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.
One of the neater clouds that I do not recall seeing until becoming an intern up here are lenticular clouds. These visually striking clouds have been variously described to appear as lenses, upside-dinner plates, stacks of pancakes, almonds, or UFOs.
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.
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...
Lenticularis. (Section 2.2.2.2.8) Clouds having the shape of lenses or almonds, often very elongated and usually with well-defined outlines; they occasionally show irisations. Such clouds appear most often in cloud formations of orographic origin, but may also occur in regions without marked orography.
