Description
The genesis of a desert summer thunderstorm is the influx of moist air from the Gulf of California into the atmosphere over the hot Arizona desert. The heated, moist air rrises in a powerful updraft. As the water vapor contained in the air condenses, the cloud begins to form while the updraft continues. Eventually this rising column reaches a point where the suspended water vapor is supercooled, forming water droplets and hail, and the center of the column began to collapse earthwards.
The falling column of rain and hail will typically push a large volume of air in front of it resulting in the downdraft known as a 'microburst'. When this narrow column of air hits the ground it will spread out in all directions at speeds sometimes in excess of 100 miles per hour, though this force dissipates rapidly over distance and time.
This photograph of a typical desert monsoon summer thunderstorm at sunset is formatted in the wide 1:2 ratio for when a beautiful, bold, and colorful artwork up to 8 feet wide with astonishing clarity is desired to fulfill a demanding design requirement. The image, made at Gunsight Pass in the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson, Arizona, and others of the same format can be found in my American Landscape Vistas collection.
