I believe those would be clouds.

Great image, I know that NASA has a huge repository of these sorts of pictures. Great for inspiration.

The White on the land is snow. You can see how it has sharp bits/fractal look. It's all the mountains separating the valleys.

The white over the sea are clouds. They have a more even flowing look. Also tend to look a bit like waves. Yes those are cloud waves in the atmosphere. Created by turbulence of air going over mountains and gravity waves.
