[:ja]Jeff Williams宇宙飛行士が今月上旬に地球へ帰還する直前に撮った雲の画像です。影がなんとも美しいです。
こちらは2014年にNASAが発表した雲のシミュレーション動画です。これは、GEOS-5という地球シミュレータを用い、2年間の雲の動きを30分間隔でスーパーコンピュータでシミュレーションしたものです。
雲というか水が地球上を循環している様子がよくわかります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.82: Cloud Shadows
Jeff Williams captured this cloud photo just before he returned to the ground from ISS. The shadows cast under the clouds are simply beautiful.
For reference, this is the visualization released by NASA of the test renderings of a global computational model of Earth’s atmosphere. NASA’s Goddard Earth Observing System Model, Version 5 (GEOS-5) was run on a supercomputer, spanned 2 years of simulation time at 30 minute intervals.
Notice clouds or water circulates over the Earth.
