May your 360 degree cloudspotting spot be warm enough to visit everyday, Ruth. Winter cabin fever is taking its toll on you.

Thats a difficult shot Ruth, hardly any contrast in the clouds in a low lite condition. The snow on the hills brings me back to reality. Below is another rendition of late in the day asp shot.

I was thinking one way to measure and thus grade Asperitas mite be the degree of arc of its “waves” . Below is an example of a slow-roll arc with plenty of evidence of a powerful wind.

Ruth, A story..and one of the main characters is invisible! And the other main character is invisible for only a third of its existence.,,wind and water. Your Path is a record of history of wind effect on the cloud. A good Asperitas is awesome rightside up and leaves no questions unanswered when viewed upside down, except this one below. There is nothing there upside down. Rightside up has it all.

The below shot has it all. You can see cloud being pulled up across the lower third of the shot. From lower left mid third ,across to upper right mid third ,is a Venetian blind ripple visual, just not at a good angle to the viewer as the lone lip on the upper right there is. Opposite side of the lip is a cloud roll going on by the winds, thinning out their density so light reveals the undulatus. Its a long shot. lots of telephoto so its not easy determining which up draft in the top third is pulling up the thin clouds in the bottom third.

Beyond tragic scene in Los Angeles. Makes us all wonder about fire conditions around our own town. Keelin the undulatus shot was made possible with a zoom telephoto lens. A fair amount of , compression of space, takes place with a telephoto lens. The alignment of the undulatus with the background is what made me take the shot. So I got a lot of undulatus and a simpler background with lighting that made it all possible. Below is another shot , zoomed in on an area, that shows diminishing undulatus the closer you get to the bottom right. Hans your pic reminds me of the olde Cadillac tail fins on their 50’s era models!

Looks like Asperitas been going to the gym, getting her abs together. Seriously some fantastic big sky you have there Ruth.
The 1st shot below is the classic “Venetian blind” look of an undulating Asperitas with an opportunistic break in the canopy to highlite a portion. I pull back on the 2nd shot to show the ” egg beater” coming at the organized undulatus. 3rd shot shows the wind that creates Asperitas can also rip it all apart.
