Is anyone at all able to explain
this kind of stunning cloud formation pattern?
Zoom in a bit and you'd swear you were looking at a field of icebergs.
And to give more examples, why are there two distinct types of clouds near
this sub-tropical low east of New Zealand? To me, it looks like positive and negative charge regions creating two unique types of cloud.
The wind map is here (700hPa; same date and time).
You will find this same distinct
sparse and patchy versus
thick and filamentary cloud near almost every low pressure system.
Here's another one, and a
third in the northern hemisphere. Is this caused by differences in altutide, charge, or both/neither?
