Summary

[edit]
Description

We saw this kind of path while flying into Laguardia too. Its clearly created by an airplane flying level or passing through the altitude where the cloud forms. The mixing caused by the passage pushes the moist air down to a warmer altitude or perhaps disperses it in the cooler, drier, air higher up. Whatever the mechanism, the result is a neat line where the cloud is erased, for a while.
