Cloud Streets

     

On February 14, 2016, NASA’s Terra satellite captured this image of cloud streets along the east coast of the United States. Cloud streets are rows of clouds that form when cold air from the land blows over the open ocean. The water in the air freezes, creating tiny clouds, and the force of the wind arranges them into neat rows.
