I could sit and study the layers of these clouds for a very long time!  Beautiful photo!

I watched the video that came after the one you recommended, and they talked about the Brunt–Väisälä frequency.  Is that what these clouds were formed by?

[Ramona Edwards]

Oh, perfect!!  Videos are what I need to learn how better to look for different types of clouds like this!  I tend to get over enthusiastic at times and I don’t want to flood the forum with tons of questions – especially when I can spend a bit of time learning and then I can be more certain of what I am seeing. ;-)  I subscribed to that YouTube channel and will spend some time observing AND some time learning.  Thanks so much, Hans!

I love those words, Keelin.  And the tiara is darling!

[Ramona Edwards]

Thank you, Keelin!  I have had much time on my hands the last year or so and lots of clouds to observe, photograph, and learn about!  I greatly appreciate the kind words!

[Ramona Edwards]

Oh, how exciting!! Thanks for verifying my deductions!  And, in fact, they bring little BUT questions to me, as I go through the learning process!  ;-) I like to study the clouds as they change and understand how certain formations, etc. come about.  This is a series that I took with my phone as I was driving to an appointment.  Questions abound!!  The question brought to my mind – are these lenticular clouds that are trying to form Fluctus clouds?

Thanks so much!

Oh WOW!!  OK, so do you have lenticular, pileus, or fluctus clouds here – or all of them?

Ramona

[Ramona Edwards]

Hans, are those fluctus clouds?

I have been studying some very active clouds all day and have seen some really interesting things!  I have been seeing formations similar to this quite often, but this is the first one I was able to photography during formation.  I looked at the links above and am trying to understand if these are “baby” Fluctus clouds during the process of trying to become “real” ones?  I am not sure where to post this, but they look kind of like waves to me, so here you are!  I have made a collage of sorts with three different images/stages of development.  Thanks for any input!  I have lots of photos to sift through, but this was what I wanted to find out about first.

Nice colors!!

[Ramona Edwards]

Well, hey – if different things can be “seen” in the clouds, then I don’t see why clouds could not be “seen” in other things, too!  And beer is a great example, LOL

Thanks for the welcome back, Hans!  We had a death in the family, so I have been out of touch with things for a while, but it is good to be back.  I appreciate the heads up on the links – the identification wheel is great, but just a starting place for identification!  I will check the links out!

Thanks, Hans!  Yes, it does look a bit lopsided, LOL!

These iridescent clouds were the closest to a full circle around the sun than any I have ever photographed.  Our local meteorologist said they were just iridescent as far as he knew.

Thanks!

And this is the one I was wondering if it was Floccus clouds?  I am just learning to move past, “Hey, those are really cool clouds” to actually knowing the names of the clouds, so I appreciate any help.  I made this image black and white for the contrast.

Thanks!
