You can see the waves in the atmosphere generated by the presidential range and how far downwind of us the waves go. There were even some ice crystals forming in the clouds that created a light gray streak connecting each lenticular cloud. | Mount Washington Observatory | Facebook

Yesterday, summit staff captured a timelapse of the development of lenticular clouds. Often appearing like a stack of pancakes or saucers, lenticulars typically form in stronger winds and downwind of a mountain range. When a strong flow of stable and sufficiently moist air hits a barrier, it produces standing waves to the lee of the barrier, in this case the Presidential Range. Within these standing waves, as the moist layer rises, it cools, causing water vapor to condense at the crest of the wa

For those unfamiliar with what lenticular clouds are, they are lens-shaped clouds that normally develop on the downwind side of a mountain.
