Wave Cloud is a type of cloud formation characterized by its wavy, undulating appearance. These clouds often form in a series of parallel bands, resembling ocean waves. They typically occur at high altitudes and can be associated with atmospheric conditions such as wind shear and turbulence.
Wave clouds are often seen in the presence of mountains or other geographical features that disrupt airflow. As air moves over these obstacles, it can create standing waves, leading to the formation of these distinctive clouds. They can indicate changing weather patterns and are sometimes precursors to storm systems.
