How would Standing Lenticular Cirrocumulus clouds observed to the west of the observation location be encoded in column 14?

Standing Lenticular Cirrocumulus clouds are specific cloud formations that are typically observed in stable atmospheric conditions, often appearing lens-shaped or "standing" over a geographical feature like a mountain. When encoding cloud types in the LAWRS (Limited Aviation Weather Reporting System), specific abbreviations are used to succinctly represent the cloud formation and its characteristics.

In this case, "CC" stands for Cirrocumulus, and the "S" indicates that these clouds are standing lenticular clouds, which is a specific type of Cirrocumulus. The direction "W" indicates that these clouds are located to the west of the observation point. Therefore, the combination "CCSL W" accurately represents the type of cloud and its positional information.

This encoding method allows for efficient and standardized communication of weather conditions, ensuring that pilots and meteorologists receive the precise information needed for safety and operational decisions.
