Original Note:
The clouds shown are altocumulus undulatus in the Atacama desert of Chile. These form when moist air from the Pacific lifts over the Andes, cools, and condenses. Wind shear at mid-altitudes creates wave-like patterns, producing these rippling cloud formations. https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/en/varieties-altocumulus-undulatus-ac-un.html https://cloudappreciationsociety.org/cloud-library/undulatus/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DAlU42CJnoc/
