A Particular Lenticular Cloud
Landsat 8s Operational Land Imager acquired this image of an elongated lenticular cloud, locally nicknamed the Taieri Pet, above New Zealands South Island on Sept. 7, 2024. Lenticular clouds form when prevailing winds encounter a topographic barrier, such as a mountain range. Wind that is forced to flow up and over the mountains creates a 8230;. https://www.nasa.gov/image...
