Another old photo, the first time I ever saw asperitas clouds. They sparked my interest in celestial phenomena. Taken in Richmond, Maine.

Rippling wave-like clouds stretch across a gray sky above a highway interchange at sunset.
Rachelle Hall in St. Louis, Missouri, saw these #asperitas clouds on December 3, 2025. Rachelle wrote: "First time seeing these clouds!" Thank you, Rachelle!

some very cool #clouds i saw last week. they are called #asperitas, apparently.
Rippling gray asperitas clouds billow overhead as soft sunset light glows above trees and rooftops.
An EarthSky community member, Frank Merenda in Fillmore, California, captured this image of #asperitas clouds on November 13. Thank you, Frank!

Synkkiä ja vellovia pilviä, kuin myrskyinen meri ylösalaisin.

#asperitas clouds, also known as #Undulatusasperatus, are a type of cloud formation characterized by a wavy, turbulent underside that resembles rippling water or rough seas
My phone absolutely nerfed these today but, #MiddleTN had a great #Asperitas cloud display this afternoon. #tnsky
Found them! Think these count as #Asperitas clouds!
Synkähkön sinertävän harmaa pilvikerros peittää taivaan. Tavallisesta poiketen pilvi näyttää vähän siltä kuin sillä olisi paha akne. Pilven tummuus vaihtelee vinhaan, ikään kuin joku olisi tökkinyt sen täyteen vaaleampia reikiä. Tavallaan pilven pohja näyttää myös hyvin sekavalta ja pieneltä, ylösalaisin käännetyltä aallokolta.
Äskön kotiin palatessani huomasin, että tyypillisesti tylsän harmaa Stratocumulus stratiformis (Kumpukerrospilvi, kerrosmainen) olikin ottanut yllättäen vähän muunnoksen lacunosus (~kennomainen) näköä pintaan. Voisi siinä tulkita olevan myös hieman […]

#Asperitas #clouds found me walking down the street one evening . . .
Asperitas clouds have wave-like structures on their underside, less organized than undulatus. From below, localized waves can look like rough seas. Varying light and cloud thickness create dramatic visuals.

These are asperitas clouds, a relatively rare and distinctive cloud formation characterized by wave-like structures and a turbulent, undulating appearance. #clouds #windturbines #sky #blueskywx #photography #asperitas #bluesky
Figured I’d share a #picture I took a week back of #Asperitas #clouds! Vancouver BC

Not done a #weather or climate EP for the podcast yet but working on one! Hopefully with a very special guest!
Dark and ominous Asperitas clouds rolling into Texas
My favorite clouds! I got this shot of some dark and ominous #Asperitas clouds rolling into Tyler, Texas ahead of a messy line of storms back in 2019. It was a turbulent night for sure!

#Asperitas sagen Fachleute offenbar dazu.
Das Bild zeigt mehrere Wohnhochhäuser vor einem Himmel, der von beeindruckenden Asperitas-Wolken bedeckt ist. Die Wolken haben eine wellige, unruhige Struktur, die eine dramatische Atmosphäre schafft. Die Gebäude im Vordergrund sind überwiegend in verschiedenen Grautönen und Grün gehalten.
Über #Berlin sieht es gerade etwas nach #Asperitas (früher asperatus) aus. #Wetter
Wavy clouds like a wind-whipped lake above a Northwestern tree line in silhouette. There's a couple prominent fir trees and one lone snag in the center that is the focal point of the image. At the edges of the clouds there is light blue sky and some is visible through the heavy cloud cover as well.
Low clouds over a tree line with some industrial towers in the distance. The sky is roiling and light gray and looks like the underside of a white water rapid.
Closeup of the clouds over the snag. The fine grain of this aerial surveillance film stock captures the wind-sculpted surface of the asperitas cloud in fine detail.
Pics of #asperitas clouds over Hillsboro Oregon. Possibly some of the first documented film photos of this cloud type as it was discovered in 2009. Took these pics about a week and a half ago on #Kodak #Aerocolor with a Canon Eos Rebel G on auto. Closeup shows the fine grain of this film stock.

This may be the very first time an #asperitas cloud has been documented in a 35mm film photo! They were discovered in the digital age and are rather rare.
