- Tipping the balance toward cloud change: Altocumulus Floccus
- W983004Z
- Tipping the balance toward cloud change. A mountain valley vista reveals a large cluster of Altocumulus Floccus clouds. These cloud tufts are bubbling energetically, sending turrets upward while other parts evaporate away. This dance of elements is often a short-lived stage between a regular, more uniform cloud sheet and eventual clear sky. The initially stable layer containing the clouds became unstable from slight heating of its upper surface, allowing convection currents to break it up.
