Kelvin-Helmholtz Wave Clouds

The video explores the fascinating phenomenon of wave-like clouds, specifically Kelvin-Helmholtz wave clouds. These clouds resemble ocean waves and are formed due to wind shear, where the wind at the top of the clouds is stronger than at the bottom. Named after scientists from the 1800s, these clouds are also known as Fluctus. The video explains that no single weather pattern creates these clouds, but various conditions can lead to their formation. Wave clouds can last from a few minutes to several minutes as they drift with the wind.
