The main tools have been the Wyoming Cloud Radar (WCR) and the UW King Air aircraft. Dynamics and microphysics of orographic precipitation (since 2006) Dynamics of radar fine-lines in the ...

The Met Office have explained the strange looking clouds and given further detail for how they are formed. The weather agency say: "These lens-shaped orographic wave clouds form when the air is ...

As the air rises in this way, which is known as orographic lifting, it is forced to cool and condense into clouds. Such clouds are then shaped by the strong winds and contorted by the mountain ...

(KJCT) - Orographic lifting contributes to the snowpack ... That cooling, rising air forms clouds and in the winter, snow. This rising air is useful for triggering snow, even when there is no ...
