- Vertical wind shear stretches clouds in various directions
- W033411Z
- Vertical wind shear stretches clouds. A stationary storm over a mountain provides the opportunity to study changing cloud motions with height. The white, frozen anvil represents both a history in time and a stretching in space by winds aloft. The wind changes slightly in both speed and direction with height, causing the storm’s top to stretch in various directions with varying thickness.
