PPT-Marine stratocumulus clouds

Typical cold sea surface temperatures in conjunction with the subsidence associated with the subtropical high are responsible for the formation of a shallow cool moist marine boundary layer capped by a strong inversion Marine stratus clouds form in this marine boundary layer .
