Early Roswell Supercell

Early Roswell Supercell
Well on its way to such status, the supercell that became the “Roswell Mothership” already showed marvelous structure here.  A midlevel “Ring of Saturn” formation had become attached to the updraft as a skirt of sorts, sandwiched like components of a burger by a large and organizing updraft base below, and a thick anvil with deep knuckles of inverted convection above.  Indeed, it made a juicy lunch sandwich on the smorgasbord of atmospheric violence.

About

Welcome to SkyPix, an online photo book of clouds, weather and water by Roger Edwards. As in a printed coffee-table book, every image has its own page with a unique story.

As a scientist and an artist, I hope my deep passion for the power and splendor of our skies and waters shines through in these pages. If you are a cloud and weather aficionado, outdoor enthusiast, outdoor or nature photographer, art lover, or anyone who craves learning, enjoy...
