- Sunset colors map out the vertical cloud content of a storm
- W001544Z
- An aging storm at sunset has a golden but mostly frozen anvil cloud top. At right is a redder anvil wing which formed lower in the atmosphere and only has sunlight filtered by the low level haze layer shining on it. The Earth's shadow is climbing up the cloud bank. Perspective makes judging height tricky but sunset colors map out vertical cloud content well.
