Congrats are due to whoever for getting CAS mentioned.
The picture is by ANDY LYONS/SWNS.COM which I can find no trace of on-line; it is a line of white cliffs ending in a white stack, grey/blue/white asperitas above, sea below. (and possibly the Isle of Wight on the horizon).
The caption is:
‘Cloud Sourcing’ Asperitas clouds hang over the Dorset coast. The formation was first identified in Iowa and registered with the Cloud Appreciation Society in 2009.If anyone can throw any further light, or even find the picture…

Hygge, there is no link in your post. There was a great display of asperitas over Dorset last Saturday. A few images are shown here:
I see that the Andy Lyons picture you seem to be referring to can be seen on his twitter feed here:

I hope that helps. -
Thank you for the enlightenment, Gavin.
Today, 160714, Paul Simons’ Weather Eye column in The Times (UK) features asperitas with reference to the Lyons pic. He writes about the CAS asperitas campaign and the CAS asperitas competition saying ‘The winner and runners-up can be seen at bit.ly/29uWprl ‘ (I don’t have much joy with such links and have not tested this one yet – I reckon the results can still be found on the CAS website, though). EDIT: sure enough my test failed.
He goes on to suggest a link twixt mammatus and asperitas (new to me). Lastly he mentions the WMO work and say its executive council will make the official decision soon.
