Description
Summary:Orographic cloud over North Victoria Land, East Antarctica, have been observed in Advance Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite imagery. These occasional clouds are discussed through analysis of their spectral features in AVHRR data. Temporal occurrence, spatial extension, and direction of the clouds are also discussed in relation to meteorological data for two periods characterised by katabatic winds in December 1992 and January 1993.
