jetstream turbulence/sawtooth cirrus

I am reading an article on jetstream turbulence which states " ...mountain wave conditions may cause upper level gravity shear waves that break into turbulent areas. Often such areas of turbulence are indicated by sawtooth cirrus cloud formations."

Does anyone have any further descriptions, pictures, links, stories, etc on these clouds. Perhaps where they have seen these frequently. I can't say that I have seen this type of cloud.
