Observations were made of roll clouds and an arc-shaped cloud band near Barcelona.
Atmospheric and oceanographic dynamics combined into unique and rare processes in the Mediterranean on August 13, 2014. Watch the photos and video below!
This arc-shaped cloud band was the sign of the cold front entering by the NE of the Peninsula on August 13, 2014. The MODIS image reflects the magnitude of the arc. Such formation are unexpected at this time of the year.
In some places around Barcelona, perfect rolling clouds formed. It is a rare type of arcus cloud.
All of these strange weather phenomena are the result of a very active deep over Central Europe.
The front went on toward further South in the Western Mediterranean.
