Summary
editDescriptionLake Effect Snow on Earth.jpg |
English: On December 5, 2000, SeaWiFS acquired this image of lake-effect snow occurring over the Great Lakes region. Lake-effect snow occurs when cold dry air passes over a larger warmer lake and picks up moisture and heat. Clouds build overhead and eventually develop into snow showers as they move downwind. In this image, the wind is seen to be moving from the north-west. It picks up moisture from Lakes Nipigon, Superior, and Michigan and deposits this as snow further downwind. |
