MACKEREL SKY


Sky Scales, Jamestown, NC

Published in USA Today on March 15, 2012

USA Today just published my January photo which I titled, Sky Scales. Interestingly enough, I chose the title based on the fish scale appearance of these unusual high-altitude cloudlets. The weather editor told me that they are a cirrocumulus formation which meteorologists refer to as a "mackerel sky".
