Airmass RGB

The difference between the high cumulonimbus clouds in white and the lower clouds is easy to see. We can see the change and swirl of the different air masses. Greenish-red warm air moves north from the Black Sea while cold air moves south over France. There was a small area with dry descending stratospheric air in the center of the low in the afternoon, depicted in a reddish color over the Czech Republic.
