MORNING GLORY CLOUDS
Nobody truly knows what causes this meteorological phenomena, but it is known that they happen yearly in Northern Australia, especially over Burketown, a small town on the coast of the Gulf of Carpentaria. Some meteorologists believe it is a form of roll cloud, which is formed when storm fronts come into contact with advancing cold fronts, cooling the air and causing the cloud. Another thought for how these clouds could form is that cool flowing air hits an inversion layer, which is a large body of air that unlike usual parts of the world, increase in temperature as altitude increases. Very awesome clouds, wish they would roll over to Florida some time.
