Lenticular Clouds


According to Webster a Lenticular Cloud is a very smooth, round or oval, lens shaped cloud that is often seen, singly or stacked in groups, near a mountain range. They can result from strong wind flow over rugged terrain which produces a distinct up and down, wavelike pattern on the lee side of the mountain or large hill. They tend to form at the peaks of these waves. Often called "wave" clouds, they sometimes are very round and the edges are so well defined that they resemble flying saucers.
