I love clouds. We had asperitas clouds in October 2024 in Ottawa.

This is an Advisory..A great habit to get into when viewing Asperitas..in real life or photographs and vids etc..is to look at Asperitas Upside Down. Doing so explains and usually answers all questions as well as verifies what you are looking at. Below, is same asperitas. One is upside down

#photography #clouds #sky. I photograph clouds and sky. Below is a shot of Asperitas..Asperitas is latin for mixed, churned up, aerated. The bottom of the cloud is smooth but curved up in an arc. The wind is tearing apart the cloud from above, pulling the cloud up by difference in pressure.

Just as no two snowflakes are alike, every sunrise is uniquely its own. This morning featured asperitas clouds, often called “jellyfish clouds”, which typically form within altostratus or stratocumulus layers.

(ASPERITAS clouds form when the atmosphere is very turbulent w/varying wind directions creating the wave like look.)

I've just asked AI - asperitas clouds, apparently 🤔

They dissipated quickly but looked dramatic, and quite cool, for a short while 👍

This afternoon (before the expected foul weather), my son and I went for a quick neighbourhood stroll and marvelled at the Asperitas clouds. Photos do not capture how fabulous it was. Like a painting in the sky.

Here's a great overview from the UK Met Office. Asperitas isn't "new", but in 2015 it was newly recognized by the World Meteorological Organization—the only such addition to the WMO atlas of cloud types in the past 74 years!

Asperitas clouds
The newest cloud type, asperitas formations are rare and resemble rippling ocean waves in the sky.

I know it is not popular on this site to ask ChatGTP, but ...

My son is thinking they’re asperitas clouds. Is that right?
Seen while taking a pre-storm walk in Davis, CA, with my 22 YO… Hey, #WxSky, would someone mind helping us identify the types of clouds in the photos? Thanks!

The one big drawing I did at #2025SVP
Drawn during presentations and lunches over 2 of the days! Thanks to @paleobyliam.bsky.social for suggesting the clouds type (asperitas) while we talked on that one lunch break (: Was great meeting you Liam, post more of your sketchbook!! #paleoart

Asperitas clouds (I think that’s what these clouds are?) over the Salt Lake Valley today. Photographed these from Sunrise Mountain Park in South Jordan, UT. I truly LOVE these kinds of clouds. It makes the sky feel otherworldly - even a little eerie or unsettling.
