Earth:Moazagotl

From HandWiki

The Moazagotl is an orographic lenticular cloud formed by the Foehn wind on the northern (lee) side of the Giant Mountains in Silesia (Poland , the Czech Republic, and Germany ). The name is thought to be derived from the name of a shepherd, Gottlieb Matz, who was known for describing them.[1] The Schneider Moazagotl sailplane is named for this type of cloud. The name has sometimes been misspelled Moazagoatl, but its spelling does not include a third 'a;' the term refers to the cloud, rather than the wind that forms it.[2]
