The strong marine layer temperature inversion acts as a "duct" to allow these waves to propagate for long distances, relatively unperturbed.</p> Good observation, Joel — gravity waves such as those you point out are observed quite frequently in the marine stratucumulus cloud field over the eastern Pacific.

This is most evident on the visible animation...thanks! The Actinae look amazing, but can you comment on what appears to be NE-to-SW oriented waves the propogate ESE through the entire cloud field?
