- Pileus clouds top a towering convection in a field of Cumulus clouds
- W804629Z
- A dreamy cloudscape with one strong convective tower bursting through a field of Cumulus. The tower's upward surge has bent the horizontal flow in the same way as air flowing over a mountain. The locally lifted air in this crest condenses into a complex Pileus clouds at several levels corresponding to the slices in the flow with highest moisture content.
