In late March , when this series of MODIS images begins, winter ice is still blocking much of the northern portion of the Strait, but beneath the streamers of clouds, it.
This is due to the effect of the cold, often iceberg-filled water of the Labrador Current flowing southward along the Canadian coastline, while warmer waters from the northern reaches of the North Atlantic Drift intrude into the eastern portion of the Strait.
The streamers of clouds seen in many of the images in this series are referred to as "cloud streets. Usually the streets are aligned in the direction of a low-level wind, with rotating vortices of air and the associated turbulence giving rise to the interesting cloud patterns. This series of images begins on March 18, , and ends on April Structured data.
