Image Caption: Top structure of a thunderstorm appears prominently above a heavy layer of cirrus clouds. The anvil forms a near-circle at the boundary of the troposphere. Vigorous updrafts appear as overshooting tops and penetrate the stratosphere. Cirrus trailing from the left side of the anvil indicates upper-level wind direction. This near-vertical photograph was taken over Colombia.
