So, clouds are a row crop? Can't wait to see what is used to harvest them!

Like the guy who wanted to be a chicken farmer. He went out and bought 2000 chicks and in less than a week they were all dead. When asked what went wrong, he replied "I guess I planted them too deep or too close together".

Thanks for the link, Evan. Absolutely amazing pictures. Looks like close to 20 harmonics behind the primary. Wow! Wonder where exactly along the route this was?

Surely this is standard wave cloud, not the 'Glory? Wave clouds being stationary in the wind, while the Glory cloud travels out from the desert to the northern ocean at a good clip (100 km/h?)

It's a thousand kms out to sea, radiating out of a cold front. Only one kind of waves out there and they're not made of cloud.

I think you're right. Still a fantastic cloud pattern, though.

Why?

The texture of the clouds says "(near) zero shear" to my eye and there darned sure isn't any proximate terrain. So I'd bet a beer on travelling waves.

Changed my mind: took another look at the airliner pic - clouds are
rotors rather than lenticulars. yellowplaintain's post mentions a cold
front which rather clinched the roll cloud interpretation.
