Solano Mesocyclonic

2015-01-22 By Roger Edwards

Solano-Mosquero Supercell 2

A long-lived, cyclic supercell gradually organized over the southern fringe of the Sangre de Cristo Range, taking nearly two hours just to move completely out of the mountains before it headed SE across the high plains and tablelands of northeastern New Mexico.  This big, broad and moderately rotating wall cloud represented the storm’s peak organization.  Unlike another supercell to its northeast, this one never produced a tornado, but still struck beautiful poses as it roamed southeastward, passing directly over several of the few towns in this sparsely settled area and dropping copious hail.

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. After all, meaningful photography is much more than just picture-taking; it is visually rendering a moment in place and time from a perspective like none other. 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...
