Asperatus Clouds Over New Zealand
From Astronomy Picture of the Day
Known informally as Undulatus asperatus clouds, they can be stunning in appearance, unusual in occurrence, are relatively unstudied, asperatus clouds appear to have significant vertical structure underneath.
The above image, taken above Hanmer Springs in Canterbury, New Zealand, in 2005, shows great detail partly because sunlight illuminates the undulating clouds from the side.
