Waves of Cloud |
 |
| I
spotted in this morning's Courier Mail a picture of
"waves of cloud" flowing over high rise
buildings on Florida's coastline ... talk about air
behaving as a fluid! |

Referred
to in recent USA press articles as a "cloud
tsunami", theses pictures of "waves of cloud" flowing over
high rise buildings on Florida's coastline (Panama City)
were taken by and placed on Facebook by helicopter pilot J. R.
Holt who commented ... "when temperature, humidity
and winds are just right, we'll get this fog that forms on
the high rise condos on the beach". |

Scientists
however have their own explanation for this phenomenon
...
"warm masses of air coming from the Gulf of Mexico
meet and rise above the skyscrapers ... and at height
colder air turns them into the clouds ... |
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
...
then they slide
down on the opposite walls of buildings, where the clouds
heat and then dissipate". |
