Lenticular cloud

Lenticular clouds (from Latin lenticularis 'lentil-shaped', from lenticula 'lentil') are stationary clouds that form mostly in the troposphere, typically in parallel alignment to the wind direction. They are often comparable in appearance to a lens or saucer. Nacreous clouds that form in the lower stratosphere sometimes have lenticular shapes.
