Two concerns: First, the image has not been in any article for seven days (indeed, it was only taken 3 days ago). Second, it doesn't represent any of the things it is purported to represent: This is an image of a
shelf cloud, which is more closely related to vertical velocities than temperature gradients, and certainly does not represent an inversion. -RunningOnBrains(

I was told by my friend. Hey come take a picture of this thermocline. Neither of us is a meteorologist. I just assumed I was taking a picture of a thermocline. It seems I am working in your area of expertise. Could this image find a home with encyclopedic value at
Vertical draft? P.S. I'd love to see you do something for

I'd just say it's a plain old shelf cloud; some are more spectacular in appearance than others, but none are really more "strong" or "weak" than the other. The updrafts and downdrafts involved can certainly be strong or weak, but this would not necessarily be apparent from the appearance. The image could be useful at
vertical draft; the shelf cloud itself is a manifestation of the storm inflow (updraft), with the outflow (downdraft) area to the left in the precipitation. -RunningOnBrains(

PS I have removed the image from the first two articles, as it clearly was not representative of the subjects of those articles. For planetary boundary layer it's a bit fuzzy, as the "boundary layer" sort of loses meaning around storm-scale phenomena such as thunderstorms. I'd say find a new destination for the image (perhaps
Inflow (meteorology) to replace the existing thunderstorm image), I just didn't want to remove it from all pages to leave this nomination in limbo. -RunningOnBrains(
