#2592 "Atmospheric Ocean Swell Waves and Lines"

#2592 "Atmospheric Ocean Swell Waves and Lines"

The morning light at 7:40 am on Tuesday December 14th, 2021 revealed a warm frontal surface. The altocumulus was transitioning into altostratus. The wind wave lines in the altocumulus gave away the storm relative southwesterlies of the warm conveyor belt. 

The lower band of altocumulus in the foreground was a bit of a puzzle. I believe it was linked to the cold conveyor belt and the associated wedge of Arctic air. Note that the sheltered eastern bay of Singleton Lake was calm while the western basin was rippled with wave action. 

The two flows when combined were the perfect setup for freezing rain which later materialized for the Ottawa Valley. We received just a taste of ice pellets and freezing rain at Singleton. 

The smooth and slippery panel encouraged me to just lay the colours in and leave them alone.
