Skylapse.org: Power Plant Storms

Dan Robinson of StormHighway.com provides a thorough overview of power plant-induced convection at this page. Perhaps the most dramatic example of this human-induced weather is this time-lapse of a shower produced by the John Amos Power Plant near Poca, WV. These types of events have been documented during all seasons throughout the U.S. Events include:

Man-Made Snow in Green Bay - January 15, 1999
Storms Over Wood River, IL Refineries - July 21, 2002
Power plant plumes in Minnesota - November 10, 2008
Unusual Snowfall in Dodge City - January 19, 2011
Nuclear power plant produces snow in southwest Pennsylvania - January 22, 2013
And, a recent case of lake-effect snow from power plant "cooling ponds" in Illinois ...

Such observations are not new as illustrated by the research here and here.

Purpose

The skylapse.org blog is a collection of video embeds, animated gifs, and other illustrations that reveal atmospheric features that may be normally subtle or elusive in real-time, but come to life when the time-lapse technique is applied. The sole intention of creating the blog was to generate a library of ready-to-use visual atmospheric illustrations for pedagogical purposes. While some of the imagery in the blog is my own, most are derived from video sharing sites and, subsequently, embedded or hyperlinked. Please use the "labels" feature below to quickly find examples of phenomena.
