+----------------------------------------------
An interesting small scale phenomena occured over Lake Superior on Tuesday. The featured loop is of visible satellite images, notice the counter clockwise swirl? This swirl is a result of very cold air settling over the open lake water. The warmer and saturated air over the lake quickly rises forming shallow clouds and over time organizes into a circulation you can see on satellite. A larger time lapse can be found <a href="http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/cases/070213/lake_superior_circ/anim.html">here</a>. The <a href="http://deved.meted.ucar.edu/norlat/snow/lake_effect/print_whole.htm">COMET MetEd</a> site has a much more detailed explaination of this phenomena.
