comma cloud system
A cloud system that resembles the comma punctuation mark.
The formation has a head and a tail and an upstream edge shaped like an "S." The comma shape results from differential rotation of the cloud border, and is further influenced by adjacent upward and downward vertical motions. Comma patterns vary in size from small convective complexes to large storm systems.
