RM2TJCJRC–Thunderheads near Indonesian Borneo are featured in this image captured by an Expedition 40 crew member on the International Space Station. Winds usually blow in different directions at different altitudes. High-altitude winds are clearly sweeping the tops off the many tallest thunderclouds, generating long anvils of diffuse cirrus plumes that trail south. At low levels, 'streets' of white dots- fair-weather cumulus clouds - are aligned with west-moving winds (lower left). Small smoke plumes from forest fires onshore also align west Optimised version of an original NASA image / Credit: NASA
