Surely this is standard wave cloud, not the 'Glory? Wave clouds being
stationary in the wind, while the Glory cloud travels out from the
desert to the northern ocean at a good clip (100 km/h?)

I think you're right. Still a fantastic cloud pattern, though.


Why?

The texture of the clouds says "(near) zero shear" to my eye and there darned sure isn't any proximate terrain. So I'd bet a beer on travelling waves.
