Two wave systems! And interference... all made visible by cloud. How cool is that? Thanks for sharing.

It's a blue day at Moriarty, but the sounding indicates the distinct
possibility of wave.* I think I'll give it a try...

I did the same a few years ago while on a site in western Denver.......went outside, saw stacked lennies to the north and wondered why I was working, not flying.......
Sigh......

We used to have an official FAA approved "Wave Window" here at Ridge Soaring Gliderport, in central Pennsylvania. The altitude record was slightly more than 39,000 feet MSL.
Most of the time it is used to travel fast / far long distance flights up to, but mostly below 18,000 feet.

Winds out of the west southwest at 82 knots right now around Moriarty at
18,000'.* I think I'll stay on the ground today.
