K-H Waves with Fall Colors

2021-12-23 By Roger Edwards

K-H Waves with Fall Colors

Regularly spaced, angular mounds, created by Kelvin-Helmholtz wave action, rippled atop a stratus deck that accompanied an approaching cold front.  The frontal stratus deck soon would come into view from higher ground as a sharply defined, beautifully angular arcus cloud, albeit without the K-H formations atop.  To make the change in scenery, I just had to trade campus fall-foliage foreground for wide-open spaces.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story.

As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
