ISS 40 Thunderheads near Borneo, Thunderheads near Borneo, Indonesia are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 40 crew member on the International Space Station.
* Crews aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have recently focused their cameras on panoramic views of clouds. Many of the photographs have been taken with lenses similar to the focal length of the human eye. Such images help us see Earth the way ISS crews see it from their perch 350 kilometers above—with a strong three-dimensional sense and a broad view of the planet.
* In this image, late afternoon sunlight casts long shadows from thunderhead anvils down onto southern Borneo. Near the horizon (image top center), more than 1000 kilometers away from the space station, storm formation is assisted by air currents rising over the central mountains of Borneo.
* Winds usually blow in different directions at different altitudes. At the time of this photo, high-altitude winds were clearly sweeping the tops off the many tallest thunderclouds, generating long anvils of diffuse cirrus plumes that trail south. At lower levels of the atmosphere, “streets” of white dots—fair-weather cumulus clouds—are aligned with west-moving winds. Small smoke plumes from forest fires in Borneo are also aligned west.

ボルネオ近郊のサンダーヘッドであるISS40サンダーヘッドは、国際宇宙ステーションの40次長期滞在クルーによって撮影されたこの画像に登場している。*国際宇宙ステーションに搭乗するクルーは、最近、カメラを雲のパノラマビューに集中させている。写真の多くは、人間の眼の焦点距離に似たレンズで撮影されている。このような画像は、強い3次元感覚と広い視野で、地球を350キロメートル上のパーチからISSの乗組員が見る方法を理解できる。※この画像では、午後遅くに太陽が雷頭から長い影をボルネオ島南部に投げかけている。地平線(画像の上部中央)の近く、宇宙ステーションから1,000キロ以上離れた場所では、ボルネオの中央の山々に上昇する気流によって嵐が形成されている。* 通常、風は異なる高度で異なる方向に吹く。この写真の時点では、高高度の風が明らかに多くの高層の雷門から頂上を掃き、南に続くびまん性サイラスプルームの長いアンビルを生み出していた。大気の低いレベルでは、白いドットの「束」は、西の風と調和している。ボルネオ島の森林火災による小さな煙プルームも西側に並んでいる。キャプション、ジェイコブスとマイケルトレンチャード、バリオステクノロジー、ボルネオ上空のクムロニンバスのクラウドスケープ
