- Storm cloud anvil evolution, with Mammatus from subsidence
- W960666S
- Storm cloud anvil evolution. A storm at left spreads anvils quickly away from its energetic updraft area (distant left) in strong wind shear aloft. The cloud sheet is undergoing changes to its undersurface as sinking air and particles create bulges of mamma and other shapes that catch the late sunlight. The three-dimensional structure and slope are evident and some of the descending particles form in lines along the slope.
