Figure 10.1 A sequence of water-vapour satellite images from Meteosat on 13–14 March 2006. An MCC can be seen developing and decaying over a period of 18 hours at 6-hourly intervals between 0900 UTC and 0300 UTC (~1115 and 0515 zenith time) over southern Africa, in a ‘dry slot’ over southern Mozambique seen most clearly in (a). Initial development is as occasional cumulonimbus before 1500 UTC (b), resulting in a large embedded cloud mass by 2100 UTC (c). Most convection has died away by 0300 UTC, although an area of layer cloud remains (d). This had disappeared by 0600 UTC, but its signature was evident as a humid troposphere. Also of interest in these images is the migration of deep convection from central Madagascar by day to the Mozambique Channel by night and a similar diurnal change over and around Lakes Victoria and Malawi. A diurnal cycle of convection can be seen over land in many areas © EUMETSAT/Crown copyright (Met Office).
