Mount Nanos-Pleša (1262m, Naso di Re, Monte Re in Italian, 30 linear km far from Trieste Gulf, Adriatic Sea), Seen From Its "Nose" Base (596m), Slovenian Karst Region, that is in the South-Western Slovenija
THE HAT!
10-december-2017: this particular orographic cloud (also called HAT and generally presages bad weather within 5-8 hours) was formed by the arrival of mild and humid air from the nearby (less than 30km linear) Adriatic Sea (from the left with this perspective), as an outpost of a Severe Atlantic front, indeed...
The clash between this flow and the -7 °C (-10°C snow temperature), at that time were at that altitude, caused the immediate condensation of the steam around the mountain almost like the coils of a snake.
By the way, despite the Low Altitude (Suhi Vrh: 1313m a.s.l., Debeli Vrh: 1301m, Pleša 1262m), Nanos Dewlap is climatically very important because it is watershed between the Adriatic sea and far Black sea, but, most of all, this Karst-dinaric mountain is "capacitor currents" in the Trieste powerful "Door Of Bora".
