COAn incredible view of stratocumulus undulatus clouds. This cloud type signifies up and down air flow motions.

πππππππ: Stratocumulus undulatus clouds formation is due to the wavy motion of the air flow in earthβs atmosphere. Undulatus clouds are affected by the wind shearing of two different airstreams. Air moving above the clouds interacts with air moving (at a differing rate/direction) below the clouds, producing the notable rows of βundulatingβ clouds. βUndaβ is Latin for βwave.β Stratocumulus undulatus clouds occur at differing heights, but are generally more lower level clouds. Pilots consider any type of undulatus cloud as a sign of potential turbulence.
