    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Quickly flowing down the east face of the mountain range, cold air condenses water molecules in the warmer air of the eastern slope, creating a long and ephemeral cloud along the normal fault where the Sierras end in the east.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    18 seconds, 28 frames.

  • Towering cumulus over Lake Tahoe Barker Pass area

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Convection is when a thunderstorm or cumulonimbus begins, which produces rain. So much cumuliform on such a larger cloud at left is indicative of one.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    21 seconds.

  • Clouds rise over Miami skyline in the afternoon 3 of 3

    View with alternate video source

    Scene notes:

    Another similar scene to Day111A, an ocean view looking on the Miami skyline from the east. Groups of taller, late-afternoon clouds, tilting towards their direction of wind, as if italicized and colorful, dwarf the tallest buildings, which are reflected on the calm waters of the bay. A three second interval is used. The clouds’ lighter colors are Fawn to Lime Oak.
    Time-lapse length (30 fps):
    10 seconds and 18 frames.
