Abstract
A sequence of photographs shows waves breaking at an inversion. Partial mixing with air above the cloud layer as breaking occurs increases buoyancy so that the air, while remaining cloudy, does not return to its original level. This behavior could be of importance in ice crystal multiplication processes.Keywords
