Description

Steam plumes from Google's data centers in The Dalles rise above a cloud layer along the Columbia River in January. The city says clouds along the river are a phenomenon that predates the data centers, related to an inversion layer. Officials are studying whether Google's plumes are now contributing to the issue.

Enormous data centers are changing the landscape in small communities across Oregon. In The Dalles, residents of the riverfront community are wondering if Google is also changing their weather.
