Interesting blob off of Sierra Leone coast

#1 Postby DisasterMagnet » Sun Sep 12, 2010 11:58 am

I took this from the TD12 thread:

Could that cloud bunch coming off south of TD12 be anything (around 8 north lat.)? Do systems form that far south in the CV?

Thanks, from a total novice

The straight-ish line of clouds in the ocean is the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)
