I've got a question that might belong somewhere else but I'll start here. I
was flying last week, above the clouds, and noticed that the clouds where
arranged in a kind of geometric array - kind of a skewed hexagon or pentagon
as viewed from above in 2D). I know that this question is more math than
weather related but I'm wondering if there are known patterns for weather
events and if there is a certain discipline that studies them?

Thanks.
