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

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

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.
