June 16, 2008: Cloud Wake
This is a NASA photo of a cloud wake appearing on the downwind side of Isla Socorro, Mexico.
I wonder how high those clouds are above the water? I mean the island will obviously disturb the air flow around it, but I wonder how high above it?

Oooooh!
Not a very clever response, but my honest one. Thank goodness it's not your way of passing on horrible news. I thought I was going to have to don my black suit and drink Guinness for a moment.

Ever wonder if clouds look at US and wonder "Do they look like anything to you?".

Does the warmer water have an algae bloom that changes the color?

Clouds picked up water from island, now have Montezuma's revenge.

Twas the spam. And some of the dumbest spam I've ever seen too.
I was expecting to see a wake for a cloud. |
