Lenticular clouds are not moving in the sky, no matter how strong was the wind

Lenticular clouds are formed on the crests of waves or air between two layers of air.

The flow of air above the surface zipping flows around obstacles, and thus forms an air wave. Clouds are usually stuck in the lee of mountain ranges and ridges of the individual peaks at a height of two to fifteen kilometers.





The wave is a continuous flow process of condensation of water vapor when the height of the dew point and evaporation during the downward movement of air. Therefore, lenticular clouds do not change their position in space, and are in the sky, like glued.





The emergence of lenticular clouds indicates that the atmosphere - strong horizontal currents of air, forming waves over the mountain barriers that the air is sufficiently high moisture content. It is usually associated with the approach of the front or rear with an energetic transfer of air from remote areas.
