Image Caption: As a cool, dry air mass blows over the warmer south Atlantic waters,
small amounts of moisture give rise to these stratocumulus clouds. The
moisture is trapped in the lower atmosphere due to sustenance aloft,
so these clouds will not grow vertically into a storm system but
rather will remain stationary until another system moves into the
region. These clouds often take on different shapes caused by local
wind movements, as shown on the right hand shot.
