But what is a lenticular cloud?
According to the National Weather Service of the United States, the clouds known as Permanent Lenticular Altocumulus (ACSL) or Permanent Lenticular Altocumulus, are associated with atmospheric waves that develop when relatively stable, fast-moving air is forced in an “upward” direction, and over a topographic barrier that is oriented more or less perpendicular to the direction from which the high-altitude wind is blowing.
