Image Caption:
STS042-72-052 23 Jan 92 13:52:04 GMT ERSAF area number 2027
An excellent example of lake-effect (or in this case
sea-effect) snowfall is depicted in this image of the coast of
Lithuania. Cold, relatively dry air moved across the Baltic Sea,
absorbing moisture, and then deposited snow along the coastline.
This image shows the sharp boundary between the air that had
moved over water and the air that had remained over land.
