Cloud Voice.
Do you hear any dreams
of hanging in the clouds
which you have all visualised
in your imagination
at least once?
As wind passes over the ground,
air in contact with
the surface is slowed
by friction, while
the air above continues
at the unimpeded speed.
This creates many thousands
of rolling vortices,
and depending on the wind
speed and roughness
of the terrain, these can
extend upwards
for a considerable height.
Your flying will encounter
“bumpiness” called audio
turbulence, that occurs
in the sound perception
of the surrounding space.
When strong winds blow
over you, the air can organise
itself into large organised
sound waves that extend
several metres downstream.
Very powerful rising and
falling air currents are
often present in these sound
waves and organised bands
of clouds sometimes form
near the wave peaks.
These waves we called cloud
voices because
of the characteristic
effect they often adopt.
