PHTsunami Cloud also known as Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds or other known as "shelf clouds"
pose no threat and make for a stunning show.
This phenomenon is less common in the sky,but when it does the principles are the same,Sea waves break as their bases are slowed down upon reaching shallow water and their crest surge ahead.Cloud waves break in the same way.The difference in air currents or shear will vause the tops of the clouds to crest over the base giving it that "wave" appearance.In this case,a cold slow -moving layer is probably beneath a warmer and faster-moving layer of air.
[The shelf cloud] is created by a cold outflow from a thunderstorm lifting the moist air very abruptly, it is an outflow feature from a thunderstorm,
When the rain from the thunderstorm comes vertically down it drags the air with it, it spreads horizontally and forms a gust front, you get the humid air being lifted abruptly from the outflow of the thunderstorm.”
