Traduction de «mountain cloud » (Anglais → Français) :

Like being surrounded by menacing picture postcards standing on end an overwhelmingness of stone a thunder in the vision —ghosts of Incas so absent here and I so aware of them their absence a negative-plus —and next morning the neighbouring mountain Birney once climbed completely mist-obscured and perhaps he is still climbing from his Toronto hospital room and if I yell “Hi Earle” I’ll hear his Andean bellow “Come on up Al” —only one thing to do in a place like thunder and lightning stand and rejoice that you’re alive in the mountains for as long as may be and to have all these things fizz in your head like cheap booze is using up all yo ...[+++]ur quota of inexhaustible delight —that life should bring such gifts and wrap them in clouds and stars Reprinted with permission of the publisher and Eurithe Purdy from To Paris Never Again, Habour Publishing, 1997

Proximity to the sea, the mountain barrier, clouds, fog, morning mists, dewy nights, sunshine, humid air and soil combine in a unique way, both in relation to the country as a whole and in relation to the adjacent areas.

The North-South orientation of the Vosges Mountains accentuates the characteristics of this climate, blocking clouds coming in from the west. This explains the abundant rainfall pattern (Foehn effect).

Today the East Slovak Lowland is like a hot plate, forcing clouds to the cooler Carpathian Mountains, where large floods originate.

Heat radiated by the extremely hot and dry land pushes clouds towards cooler mountain areas, where they produce precipitation causing extreme rainfall and floods.

The cause is by and large the air drifting from the ocean over Vancouver and the clouds in the air nestling up against the mountains, dropping back, and dropping the contents in our community.
