Image Caption:
Thunderstorms; Amazon Basin, Brazil

A different perspective from the photograph above is seen in this
near-vertical view of thunder-storms over the southern Amazon
Basin in Brazil. The tops of the large thunderstorms are clearly
visible. Some cirrus clouds can been seen at the left of the
view, as winds aloft begin to shear off the tops of some of these
massive storms. New storm cells can be seen building at the
center and left of the photograph. (S26-38-018)
