   Featured above are eye-catching, eyebrow clouds I observed from Yuen
   Long, Hong Kong, on the morning of November 17, 2022. They’re
   officially known as  Eyebrowed Cloud-Supercilium and result from
   turbulence over mountain barriers, tending to form during  strong
   winds, in the lee of steep terrain. On occasion, it seems, when a
    mountain wave flows over a line of ridges the wave may act to
   tumble over itself, creating these peculiar-shaped clouds.
