- Life cycle of a regenerating thunderstorm cloud in a wide-angle view
- W005441Z
- Life cycle of a regenerating thunderstorm cloud. Air flowing toward a mountain rises and condenses along a short rain-free base from which towers spring and begin raining. The tops then blow downwind aloft as an anvil until they lose their fallout, mostly freeze and evaporate, leaving only Cirrus. All the stages from initiation to demise are presented in this wide-angle of a single, regenerating storm cell.
