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

Amazing lenticular cloud over Mount Fuji! Lenticular clouds form when wind runs perpendicular to an obstacle, such as a mountain. The obstacle forces air upward, intercepting high-level moisture to form the cloud. #Weather | Steve Knight CBS 21 News

Here is a time lapse of the lenticular clouds from a few days ago! 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

IRIDESCENT LENTICULAR CLOUD — RAINBOW HALO OVER THE PEAKS A bright sun, a smooth “lens” cloud, and suddenly the sky shows oil-slick rainbow bands wrapped around the light. From the mountains it looks like a glowing ring—clean, sharp, unreal-looking—but it’s just perfect air perfect ice crystals lining up at the right moment. This effect is usually cloud iridescence: tiny, similarly sized water droplets or ice crystals in a thin cloud diffract sunlight, separating it into pastel/rainbow colors. L
