The BBC reported a new kind of cloud recently. Yes, that is very interesting. I haven't seen any clouds like these here. I started to study clouds back when I was a skydiver, that's a way to study if you can jump or not, because the cloud layer has to be above 10,000 feet when you are skydiving from normal height, else you have to jump from lower heights. These new kinds of clouds, what heights are they usually lying in? "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me ID: 907610 ·

I'm not sure - I can't find anything about them on the Cloud Appreciation Society's website (which is not exactly the best-designed site I have ever seen.) The pictures are clearly photoshopped to bring out detail, but even so the cloud cover looks low to me. He also mentions "the violent, chaotic undulations shown here". So I would imagine no skydiving with this sort of stuff around. ID: 907683 ·

I'm no expert but I agree. They're also sometimes called "lenticular" clouds because they look like a glass lens. Very interesting for aircraft pilots and especially glider pilots because they indicate atmospheric "wave".
