Thermals in the lower levels of the sky, formed by the ground heating, pillow in shape and cauliflower or Lion’s Mane mushroom in appearance, confluence together as dense, steamy masses, that climb. SKU/clip number: DAY336
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
12 seconds.
The sunrise is making gold and pink saturation of overhead passing clouds.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
11 seconds and 24 frames.
Convection is when a thunderstorm or cumulonimbus begins, which produces rain. So much cumuliform on such a larger cloud at left is indicative of one.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
21 seconds.
… as they are seen from below, moving away from POV. An original, renewed time-lapse of the sky with clouds.
Time-lapse length (30 fps):
9 seconds and 2 frames.
… in daylight heating above distant trees. A growing, towering Cumulus before a wider stratus cloud that is far greater in volume. Stratus clouds like these may have formed initially from ground heating. Such smaller rain clouds may spread out to turn into a layer (a stratus) instead of being pushed along with a surviving core to regenerate. In these local pockets of rising air, the humidity around the cloud condenses into visibility.

… in daylight heating above distant trees. Birth of a Cumulonimbus, a rising congestus carrying enough moisture to darken and sprout rain while it grows nearer. This exemplar of a congestus, a towering Cumulus cloud that has not become a Nimbus, reaches higher and higher into the sky until the day has become cloudy with a high chance of precipitation. Often other low stratus clouds obscure clouds like this, but they are quite common.

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.

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.
