Dale Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Methinks altocumulus lenticularis.......frequently seen "capping" mountain tops...... Neat pics! Now , if a woman's image appears and says, "Don't be afraid....we mean you no harm......" RUN!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Any ideas of what actually caused it? It was probably 86-90F that afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aslkahuna Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 ACSL usually forms when there are stable waves in the atmosphere. The lower Cumulus suggests waves in a capping layer above them. At any rate, the surface temperature is not of much consequence insofar as the formation of the ACSL are concerned. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
