Clouds of the Day - May 9, 2020

Altocumulus lenticularis form from waves in the air. Since they form in a stable layer the clouds do not have extensive vertical height. The often have a lens shape or have the profile of an ariplane wing. Look closely at these clouds and you will see the lens/airplane wing shape in these clouds.

Above the altocumulus were cirrus. You will see the cirrus in the background of the altocumulus in today’s photos.
