Yesterday morning I saw these clouds as I as walking out the door to go to work. While I've seen these clouds before, I've never seen them in any books... so I mentally call them 'Smoke clouds'
Within 20 minutes there was a fairly solid layer of Strato-cumulus in place.
Anyone know what these are called? Or even if they have a name... maybe some Sc forming or something...
Cheers,
G

they almost look like what is called kelvin waves (is that right?)....which usualy occur with the approach of a cold front/rain, but yeah, its just some forming/whispy stratocumulus
melbourne got a lot of rain, and looks like more to come
