Open cell clouds over the South Atlantic
Open cell clouds. Terra satellite image of a cloud formation known as open cell, over the South Atlantic Ocean. This pattern appears on the back of a low pressure system or cyclone. The system draws in surrounding air and (in the Southern Hemisphere) spins clockwise. On one side cold air is pulled in from the south and on the other side warm air is drawn from equatorial regions. These cloud fomations result. Photographed in July 2004

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of open cell clouds hovering over the vast expanse of the South Atlantic Ocean. Taken by the Terra satellite in July 2004, this image captures a unique cloud formation known as open cell, which typically appears on the backside of a low-pressure system or cyclone. The intricate pattern displayed in this photograph is a result of atmospheric dynamics at play. As air is drawn into the system, it spins clockwise due to its location in the Southern Hemisphere. On one side, cold air from southern regions is pulled in while warm air from equatorial areas is drawn on the other side. This convergence creates these distinct cloud formations that resemble an array of interconnected cells. From space, these open cell clouds present an awe-inspiring spectacle with their organized and repetitive patterns stretching across miles. The delicate wisps and billows seem to dance harmoniously against a backdrop of deep blue ocean waters. This image serves as a reminder of Earth's ever-changing meteorological phenomena and highlights how our planet constantly surprises us with its natural wonders. It also demonstrates how satellite imagery plays a crucial role in advancing our understanding of weather systems and providing valuable insights for meteorologists worldwide. Captured by Science Photo Library's lens, this remarkable snapshot invites us to appreciate nature's artistry and marvel at its boundless creativity.
