Anvil cloud - Anvil cloud (English spelling)
|
This is a cloud seen when a developed cumulonimbus cloud is in the weakening stage. It is so named because the top of the cumulonimbus cloud is shaped like an anvil. The cloud top has developed and reaches near the tropopause, and the strong winds in this area cause the cloud near the top to be blown horizontally, forming an anvil shape.
