Rooster tail

The magnitude of these features[clarification needed] in a boat increases with speed, while the relationship is inversely proportional for airplanes.

In meteorology, a rooster tail satellite pattern can be applied[clarification needed] to either low or high level cloudiness, with the low cloud line seen in the wake of tropical cyclones and the high cloud pattern seen either within mare's tails or within the outflow jet of tropical cyclones.

[10] The curve describing the relationship between the coefficient of friction and sliding speed of the clutch in manual transmission automobiles on a graph is known as a rooster tail characteristic.

In the low cloud field, it represents a convergence zone on the westward extent of the Saharan Air Layer seen at the back of tropical cyclones gaining latitude.

[12] This description has also been used with high cloudiness spreading in a narrow channel towards the Equator within the outflow jet of a tropical cyclone, such as Hurricane Felix (1995).

[13] Mare's tail patterns within cirrus clouds are occasionally referred to by this term due to their appearance.
