Cirrus cloud
Cirrus cloud. Spiralling cirrus Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud. Its distinct corkscrew pattern is formed by layers of air moving across each other in opposite directions, creating a series of circular air movements in between them. This type of cloud generally forms at high altitude and dissipates rapidly

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a Cirrus cloud. The image captures a spiraling Cirrus Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud, displaying its distinct corkscrew pattern formed by layers of air moving in opposite directions. As these air masses collide and interact, they create a series of circular movements within them, resulting in this unique phenomenon. The photograph highlights the ephemeral nature of this type of cloud formation, which typically occurs at high altitudes and dissipates rapidly. Its transient existence adds to its allure and makes it an extraordinary sight to behold. With its intricate spiral structure against the backdrop of a clear blue sky, this image invites us to marvel at the wonders of our atmosphere. It serves as a reminder that our climate is not only shaped by larger weather systems but also by smaller-scale phenomena like these spiraling clouds. Science Photo Library has expertly captured this moment in time, offering us an opportunity to appreciate the intricacies and complexities present in our natural world. This stunning print would make for an excellent addition to any collection celebrating meteorology or atmospheric phenomena while providing endless fascination for those who gaze upon it.
