Satellite view of cloud streets over Hudson Bay, Canada
November 13, 2012 - Satellite view of cloud streets amidst northwesterly winds over Hudson Bay, Canada.
Cloud streets, long parallel bands of cumulus clouds, form when cold air blows over warmer waters, while a warmer air layer (or temperature inversion) rests over the top of both. The comparatively warm water gives up heat and moisture to the cold air above, and columns of heated air called thermals naturally rise through the atmosphere

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing satellite view of cloud streets over Hudson Bay, Canada. Taken on November 13,2012, the image captures the ethereal beauty of long parallel bands of cumulus clouds that form when cold air interacts with warmer waters amidst northwesterly winds. The phenomenon occurs due to a temperature inversion where a layer of warmer air rests above both the cold air and water surface. The contrasting temperatures create an awe-inspiring sight as columns of heated air called thermals rise through the atmosphere. This natural occurrence is beautifully depicted in this vertical color image taken from space. The absence of people allows us to fully appreciate the grandeur and scale of these cloud streets stretching across the bay. The frozen landscape adds another layer of intrigue to this photograph, emphasizing the harshness and cold temperatures characteristic of Hudson Bay's climate. As we explore this overhead view captured by Stocktrek Images, we gain insight into Earth's physical geography and meteorology while marveling at nature's artistic display. This stunning portrayal invites us to contemplate our planet's delicate balance between land, water, weather patterns, and atmospheric conditions. It serves as a reminder that even seemingly ordinary phenomena can hold extraordinary beauty when observed from a different perspective – one afforded only by satellites orbiting high above our world.
