Known as Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, they form when a faster stream of air moves

above rising air below.

Ms Gordon, who told BBC News she took the images from her parents' back door before
posting them to the Facebook page Wyoming through The Lens, said: "It was an awe-
inspiring moment.

"I'm just glad others can enjoy the experience now, too."

BBC Weather's Matt Taylor says the pictures are one of the most stunning and epic
examples of Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds he has ever seen.

"Part of the beauty of Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds is that they really show up the
fluidity of the atmosphere," he said.

"How, like waves in the ocean, the atmosphere moves and responds to the environment
around it. The air is effectively rising up and tumbling over on itself."
