streamer clouds
Fly long enough and you'll see a river covered with fog and
you can see the fog flowing down stream with ripples just
like it was the water. My guess in the picture you posted,
there was a front with wet and dry air, moderate to strong
winds and terrain effects.
Lenticular clouds, roll clouds, wall clouds, all are
effected by or caused by the terrain.

pressure drops

| Interesting that the affected area is so thin.
