A Lenticular Cloud Over Hawai'i
Explanation:
Can a cloud do that?
Actually, pictured above are several
clouds
all stacked up into one striking
lenticular cloud
.
Normally, air moves much
more horizontally
than it does vertically.
Sometimes, however, such as when wind comes off of a
mountain
or a
hill
, relatively
strong vertical oscillations take place as the air stabilizes.
The dry air at the
top of an oscillation
may be quite
stratified
in moisture content, and hence forms
clouds
at each layer where the air saturates with moisture.
The result can be a
lenticular cloud
with a
strongly layered appearance.
The above picture was taken near
Mauna Kea
,
Hawaii
,
USA
.
