Nuage produit par les embruns des chutes de grande hauteur, qui saturent pratiquement l'air environnant. Les mouvements descendants de l'air provoqués par la chute de l'eau sont souvent compensés dans leur voisinage par des courants ascendants, qui entraînent avec eux l'air saturé et donnent ainsi naissance, au-dessus de la chute, à un nuage ayant l'aspect d'un Cumulus. 1, record 1, French, - nuage%20de%20chutes%20d%27eau
