| has gloss | eng: An Alberta clipper (also known as a Canadian Clipper) is a fast moving low pressure area which generally affects the central provinces of Canada and parts of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions of the United States. Most clippers occur between December and February, but can also occur occasionally in the month of November. Alberta clippers take their name from Alberta, Canada, the province from which they appear to descend, and from clipper ships of the 19th century, one of the fastest ships of that time. |

| has gloss | fra: 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. |
