CUMULONIMBUS



Photos taken by myself from my garden last Sunday.


Cumulonimbus is a type of cloud that is tall, dense, and involved in thunderstorms and other intense weather. It is a result of atmospheric instability. These clouds can form alone, in clusters, or along a cold front in a squall line. They create lightning through the heart of the cloud. Cumulonimbus clouds form from cumulus clouds (namely from cumulus congestus) and can further develop into a supercell, a severe thunderstorm with special features.

Os Cumulonimbus são nuvens que se desenvolvem verticalmente até grandes altitudes, podendo chegar a mais de 15 mil metros. Têm a forma de montanhas, torres ou gigantescas couve-flores e são formadas por gotas d’água, cristais de gelo, gotas superesfriadas, flocos de neve e granizo. Há, em seu interior, violentas correntes de vento, ascendentes e descendentes. Todos os pilotos as temem e respeitam.

  22. Lindas! Já ouvi por aí que as Cumulonimbus são como as mulheres, quanto mais bonitas mais perigosas!! Eu já não acho, quer dizer, sobre a questão das mulheres bonitas serem perigosas! (rs*) Beijus,

  25. I wonder if those clouds brought you a thuderstorm?

  26. Olá Sonia
    Gostei da comparação da Lumma sobre "mulheres bonitas e perigosas" e digo também que o pior é quando além de feia ela é perigosa completando aquele perfil de bruxa, rss
    As paisagens são lindíssimas com as nuvens, e observei que em 2 delas tem pássaros voando.
    Deejo um belo final de semana. Beijooo
