Record 5 2004-05-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Atmospheric, Climatic and Meteorological Phenomena
DEF

Turbulent, Altocumulus-type cloud formation in the lee of large mountain barriers; the air in the cloud rotates around an axis parallel to the range.

CONT

In the turbulent under-laminar air layer, more or less visible roll shaped clouds (cumulus or stratocumulus) mark the different waves. When the air moisture content is high, bands of clouds which vary in thickness and length form parallel to the relief. When the air moisture content is low, they disappear completely or are limited to very mobile and short-living light clouds. These clouds are known as rotor clouds or roll clouds. Below the roll clouds, pilots will more than likely experience strong turbulence and winds opposite to the wind gradient, which can make flying generally much more interesting and perhaps hazardous.

OBS

rotor clouds; roll clouds: The plural form is preferred, since it refers more to a cloud formation than to a particular cloud alone.

  • rotor cloud
  • roll cloud
