- Cloud shapes and air movement: a sculpted shelf cloud
- W012899Z
- Cloud shapes and air movement. Clouds are shaped by the air flow around them. This sculpted shelf cloud results from air being squeezed at the forward edge by outflow behind it and inflow winds ahead of it. The wavy pattern shows that there is a larger-scale undulation imposed on many complex small-scale variations throughout the many layers of lifted air along the boundary.
