  Approaching a weak cold front

  Beneath the aircraft flying at about 11 300 m (37 000 ft) is a fairly extensive sheet of low-level convective cloud (Stratocumulus). At the top and right of the image is a “wall” of stratiform cloud associated with a weak cold front, which the aircraft is flying towards.

  Links in the image description will highlight features on the image. Mouse over the features for more detail.
