Topic: Lenticularis clouds in Slovenia

Today we have windy day with some beautiful Lenticularis clouds. We have a new layer of snow in the mountains.

   Those pictures are awesome!!!  What a view.  I am so jealous Clouds are just so amazing. They can get themselves into so many different mindboggling shapes.  And, the mountains are not bad either   Those little buildings at the bottom right look like little toys!!!  So cool   thanks for sharing them!!

You are very lucky- that is not something we get in the midwest US.  Not enough lift.  I always
tell my students that weather is unique to an area. Clouds are too.

Can I save those and use them in my class?

Now I need a simple way to explain formation of them.

Here is simple explain formation of the Lenticularis clouds:
Lenticularis clouds are lens-shaped clouds, with a smooth layered appearance. Lenticularis often shows iridescence if it is near or in front of the sun. Beautiful lenticularis forms over and downwind of mountain ridges whenever there are strong upper-level winds, such as the jetstream. Mountain lenticularis are stationary and mark the crests of invisible gravity waves in the air flowing over the mountain. The sometimes flying-saucer-like appearance of lenticularis undoubtedly accounts for several fake UFO reports.

@Chief-david, you can use them in your class, I am happy to help you. 

Yesterday was one of the best days to take a good weather photos in this year. It looks like our first snowy days are coming to my area. I will show winter photos in the future.
