Clouds Second // Isaac Martinez
This photo was taken on CU Boulder’s main campus near the Center For Community on October 11, 2022 at 6:21pm. Below is the Skew-T diagram for Grand Junction, 20 minutes after the photo was taken. This diagram indicates that the clouds were most likely to occur at 5500 meters since that is where the two curves on the plot are the closest. These clouds are stable (CAPE is zero) and based on the information available and their darker appearance, I assume they are a combination of altostratus and nimbostratus clouds.
