#2576 "Singleton Sunrise with a Storm on the Western Horizon"
11x14

The arcs of cloud on the western sunrise horizon spoke of the warm conveyor belt of weather that was approaching from the southwest. The large individual bands were actually swells embedded in the flow behind the deformation zone. The energy for these long wavelength swells originated with the stronger winds of the jet stream much further to the southwest. There were some subtle embedded wind waves within the swells as well. A jet was inbound to Pearon International leaving a contrail in its wake.

It is important to view all gravity waves from the atmospheric perspective. The slant on these wind waves is actually toward the east when viewed from satellite imagery. The anticyclonic companion was approaching Singleton as is customary given the location of eastern Ontario relative to the Gulf of Mexico. Our earth bound vantage can be challenging and one must always keep an open mind ready for new evidence and facts.
