Tricky Weather Question

Unread post by Kymatica »

Friend of a friend of a friend had to sit an exam to become a pilot and discovered a one of the possible questions he might be asked. The question has probaly been twisted by whispers but this is how it was told to me.

If there was a double layer of stratus cloud that was not caused by inversion layer's what would cause it?

Sorry i can not give more context but there it is.

Wada ya reckon....

Maybe the question is supposed to read stratiform layers. In which case the answer is a front.
