One typical occurence of Cbs and MCSs is within the area of hot air over Spain, in front of an approaching Cold Front.
Common Remarks
The Spanish Plume is a geographically specific case of convection, in which intensive Cb And MCS form over the Spanish plateau and western Europe. There is also a close connection between the Spanish Plume and Non-Orographic Convergence Lines and, especially, between the Spanish Plume and Thickness Ridge Cloudiness , both of which show a similar double structure (i.e. an intensive convective cloud band preceding a visually less intensive Cold Frontal cloud band).
