ATSC 113: MIDTERM EXAM QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS Lenticular (mountain-wave) clouds - Answer-Indicate vertical wind oscillations and possible mountain-wave turbulence. Sailplanes like the updraft portion of the waves, because they can "surf" the wave and fly very long horizontal distances. Commercial aircraft hate the waves because they often mean a very bumpy ride at all altitudes for the whole time while flying over the mountains. Pileus - Answer-Form over fast-growing cumulus...
