Wave clouds off Western SaharaRipple-like wave clouds dominate a complex pattern located over the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Western Sahara on August 25, 2010. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite captured this true color image as it passed overhead. A wave cloud is created by atmospheric standing waves. A moist atmosphere allows clouds to form at the crests of the otherwise invisible waves, but the clouds evaporate in the descending part of the waves. This is due to adiabatic heating and cooling, a process that results in no net heat transfer between the air and the surrounding environment. ( automatický preklad ) ( ukáž pôvodný text ) | ||
