"Pea Souper Designed by the Le Maitre Pyrotechnics and Special Effects company in England, the Pea Souper smoke effect machine creates a low-lying fog for stage and other effects uses. It uses a cage of dry ice pellets which are lowered into a bath of hot water (which is kept hot via an internal heating element). The dry ice (frozen/solid carbon dioxide) sublimates into a dense heavy ""smoke"" which lasts a short while until it dissipates into the atmosphere. The effect creates a rolling cloud of low lying fog which will follow the ground to the lowest point, ""rolling"" over"

A more precise definition is given by the Köppen climate classification, which treats steppe climates (""BSk"" and ""BSh"") as intermediates between desert climates (BW) and humid climates in ecological characteristics and agricultural potential. Semi-arid climates tend to support short or scrubby vegetation and are usually dominated by either grasses or shrubs. To"

Thundersnow is one situation where forcing mechanisms provide support for very steep environmental lapse rates, which as mentioned before is an archetype for favored convection. The small amount of latent heat released from air rising and condensing moisture in a thundersnow also serves to increase this convective potential, although minimally.
