TIROS VI captures unique cloud formations in Western Australia, suggesting specific atmospheric conditions.
TIROS VI on picture taking orbit 465 at 0721Z 20 October 1962 obtained a picture of an unusual 'fish-bone' cloud pattern at 23°S 120°E (Fig. 1). Although the scope of the analysis was restricted by the rather sparse conventional data available in this region of Western Australia, it is concluded that conditions favoured the formation of Haurwitz billow cloud rolls lying approximately normal to the wind shear in an inversion layer. The wavelength is however much greater than that computed by theory.
