Plate 25 View south over Florida
from the Gemini V manned spacecraft at
an elevation of 180 km on 22 August
1965, with Cape Kennedy launching
site in the foreground. Cumulus clouds
have formed over the warmer land,
with a tendency to align in east-west
'streets', and are notably absent over Lake
Okeechobee. In the south, thunder-head
anvils can be seen ( NASA photograph ).
Plate 26 An air view looking southeastward towards the line of high cumulus towers marking the
convergence zone near the Wake Island wave trough shown in Figure 11.7 ( from Malkus and Riehl
1964 ).
