Plugging away at another chapter of Out Of Bounds.

Wow. Is there a name for that kind of cloud? Midcenturymodernnimbus?

I think they're lenticular clouds. They form over some mountains in particular weather conditions, probably involving an onshore wind although I don't know about that bit.

(and before posting, reading down other comments says that yes, lenticular clouds, and the conditions involve major turbulence).
