Quite honestly, I'm not sure; I just 'jacked the picture since it was one of the best illustrations of a clerestory that I could find. The image came from a custom stained glass business in the KC-MO area, so presumably, it's from a church in their service region.

I think it would be clearer to say it is the windows of the nave that are higher than the roof of the aisles.
