Talk:Morning Glory cloud

Untitled

I've been doing some research and I can't find any evidence of the Morning Glory cloud on the Sea of Cortez. Can anyone back this up?

Sadly I can't. But I do recall seeing a youtube video of these clouds in Japan, which is way north of Australia. Jaundiced Zippo (talk) 00:57, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

UK sighting

The report of a UK sighting of a Morning Glory cloud is completely uncited so looks like WP:OR. We really need some evidence for this (a) happening, and (b) belonging in this article, which is about a specific type of roll cloud occurring in Australia, rather than the general roll cloud article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quaestor23 (talk • contribs) 11:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Roll cloud?

Should Morning Glory cloud be subsumed under Arcus cloud / Roll Cloud? Is seems to perhaps be a specific example or sub-type? Seems a bit silly to have it be a completely separate entry when they seem to be the exact same phenomenon? 50.53.113.32 (talk) 16:24, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Occasional Sightings in Toowoomba Qld Aus

Satellite photo ???

Satellite photo of morning cloud formations over the Gulf of Carpentaria. Northern part of the visible linear cloud is North Australian Squall Line, Morning Glory cloud is the very southern part of this linear cloud.

The first image is probably not a Morning Glory but a single line of clouds on a local convergence North Australian Cloud Lines and similar cloud patterns can be observed in many parts of the world.

See below for an more characteristic photo

NASA Worldview satellite picture, october 4th, 2023, 08:50 a.m. local time. There are a series of roll clouds on the south of the gulf, 600 km long, parallel to the east coast of Cape York, moving to the west-south-west, characteristic of the Morning Glory. Another series of clouds, E-W, 300 km long, moving to the north, can be seen on the land on bottom left.
