Foehn wall cloud may form on the top of mountain ranges, resembling a cap on the mountain ( forming Lenticular saucer shaped cloud) this type of flowing cloud below is part of the orographic ( either on the upslope or downslope of mountains or ranges) cloud phenomena. It is formed as moist air is forced upward by the mountain top, and dissipates on the leeward side of the mountain as the moving air descends. Cloud particles and denser patches of cloud may be seen moving over the mountain and occasionally may be seen flowing down the leeward side of the mountain, giving the appearance of a waterfall. The cloud itself is stationary on the mountain top.
