那是什么类型的云?这种后退的积雨云,通常被称为雷雨云,有点不寻常,因为它在近端包含了不寻常的凹凸不平的乳状云,同时在远端产生降雨。这张照片拍摄于2013年年中,地点是加拿大阿尔伯塔省南部,镜头后,随着太阳从西边落下,云正在向东移动,向远处移动。在这张特色图片中,落日的颜色穿过天空,给已经上镜的云彩增添了引人注目的橙色和粉色色调。深蓝色的天空遮住了背景。在更远的地方,在最右边可以看到一个冉冉升起的月亮。

What type of cloud is that? This retreating cumulonimbus cloud, more commonly called a thundercloud, is somewhat unusual as it contains the unusual bumpiness of a mammatus cloud on the near end, while simultaneously producing falling rain on the far end. Taken in mid-2013 in southern Alberta, Canada, the cloud is moving to the east, into the distance, as the sun sets in the west, behind the camera. In the featured image, graphic sunset colors cross the sky to give the already photogenic cloud striking orange and pink hues. A darkening blue sky covers the background. Further in the distance, a rising, waxing, gibbous moon is visible on the far right.
