Towering Cumulus congestus growing and moving in blue skies

Scene notes:
Heat, moisture, and more heat. The Everglades have this in spades. Seen here, the clouds are truly towering in their nature, being taller than they are wide at their base. These updrafts play out as visible clouds and will grow to form rain clouds. Tropical land warming accelerates these clouds around the Everglades, and the warm waters assist in visible absolute humidity.

Full moon behind heavy clouds intermittently

Scene notes:
During the full phase of the moon, the sphere shines bright in the night, presenting challenging conditions. When the right density lower clouds move in front of it, the very fine details are evident of the clouds, and the brightness of the moon appears dimmed by these obvious shades.

Mammatus clouds above hills darkening away at dusk in the sky
View with alternate video source
Scene notes:
The scientific adage of ‘what goes up, must come down’ rings true in this scene where, at right, lower-level clouds rise in convection. Over this ridgeline, there are pockets of air that fall through the cloud as cold patches, creating these distinctive looking clouds. While the dire, dark gray, bizarre looking ‘mammatus’ are this size only 30-40000 ft and attached to monstrous storms, these are clearly harmless clouds.

Low clouds are attempting to build on the Grand Tetons in the early daylight. The peaks are low on glacial ice, due to late summer.
