A Dense Bank of Stationary Stratocumulus Clouds that Curl Orographically in Interacting with the Ridge of Mount Cavallo di Pontebba (2239m a.s.l.) Is Generated by Continuous Southern Currents Rising from the Valleys Below: "Stau" Meteorological Phenomenon

            01-february-2021: Carnic Alps of Italy bordering the Austrian ones at Passo Pramollo/Nassfeld Pass (1530m a.s.l. Italy/Austria), here in Friuli-VG, Italia

On the whole, the "stau" (queue) from the South, that is the ascent of progressively wetter and colder currents from valley to mountain, which produced this elongated and curled cloud, never exceeded that position throughout the all day, leaving, to the North, the completely clear sky, in the consequential phase of the fall of these currents from the chain towards the Austrian valleys on the opposite side; that is the reverse phenomenon of the "stau", called "Foehn" (or a "sort of Foehn", that is the descent of increasingly drier and milder currents from mountain to valley, the end of the queue...).
