I was looking through some venus express images and saw some with this type of pattern in the clouds which seemed atypical for me thinking I thought the clouds were moving around the planet continously and here they seemed stopped. Kind of like looking like when oil and water dont mix. Of course I know that stuff is not on venus but the odd pattern surprised me. I have seen them on enough images now to know its not a camera issue
What is the theory for this behavior? Picture is attached I believe. I am refering to pattern at the top of the image.
thank you.

Source for the file? You're probably looking at a level 1 product that isn't flat/dark field processed.
