The Dreaded Clear Clipper

 


Not dreaded for us, but for the warmies.  I've never seen this before, but it shows violent clear-air convection throughout the whole lower atmosphere.  That is one thing that kills 'greenhouses' in the air.  You have to fantasize a layered atmosphere that does not exist.

A clipper is always warm moist air from the Pacific dragging down Arctic air, sliding down a perfect 45 degree angle.  Brings horrible winter weather.  A clear one is the same but the Pacific air is dry.

Anyway, very limited with bandwidth up here in the hut.  Looks like a nice day.
