#undulatus

I love the region I live in because I swear I see something different and beautiful every day, especially in the evening :]

Wow, what a unique cloud!

Looks like cirrocumulus lenticularis undulatus to me! Distant cirrus spissatus clouds too.

Asperatus Clouds Over the Canary Islands Photographer: Roberto Porto; Summary Authors: Roberto Porto, Jim Foster

Shown above is fantastical sky that looks like it could have been painted by an impressionist artist. I captured this photo in Teide National Park, on the Canary Island of Tenerife (Spain), during the afternoon of November 26, 2017. Referred to as asperatus clouds, it now seems that they form in similar atmospheric conditions that result in mammatus type clouds -- air cooled by the sublimation of ice crystals punching through an existing cloud base. However, with asperatus, strong wind shear at the cloud level causes the clouds to shape into wave-like structures called undulatus. They're not often seen, but when they are, they're always captivating.
