Meaning
French
has glossfra: Un Clipper albertain (Alberta clipper en anglais) est un système dépressionnaire se formant dans les Prairies canadiennes, surtout en Alberta, et qui se déplace rapidement dans le flux zonal atmosphérique. Ces systèmes ont reçu ce nom pour deux raisons: leur vitesse et la forme en voile de la zone nuageuse qui entourent ces dépressions, telle que vue d'un satellite météorologique. En effet, un clipper désigne un navire à voile très rapide du XIXe siècle.
