Summary
Description 8402 STS41B Challenger Thunderstorms over Brazil.jpg |
English:
This photograph, acquired in February 1984 by an astronaut aboard the doomed Space Shuttle Challenger, shows a series of mature thunderstorms located near the Parana River in southern Brazil. With abundant warm temperatures and moisture-laden air in this part of Brazil, large thunderstorms are commonplace. A number of overshooting tops and anvil clouds are visible at the tops of the clouds. Storms of this magnitude can drop large amounts of rainfall in a short period of time, causing flash floods.
