    Default Pyrocumulus Cloud

    Pyrocumulus Cloud Over the Colorado Rockies

    June 21, 2012


    Photographer    : Richard H. Hahn
    Summary Author: Richard H. Hahn; Jim Foster

    The photo above shows a conspicuous pyrocumulus cloud enveloping the Colorado Rocky Mountains, about 25 mi (40 km) to the north/northeast of Estes Park, Colorado. It developed during the immense High Park fire, one of the biggest wildfires in the history of Colorado, which began in mid June of 2012. Intense heat from the fire generated powerful updrafts that helped form this pyrocumulus cloud. The High Park Fire was evidently sparked by a lightning strike and fueled by desiccated vegetation and beetle-damaged conifer trees. Photo taken on June 17, 2012 at 5:49 p.m.
    Photo details: Camera Maker: Canon; Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D; Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS; Focal Length: 96.0mm; Aperture: f/8.0; Exposure Time: 0.0063 s (1/160); ISO equiv: 100; Exposure Bias: none; Metering Mode: Matrix; Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto); White Balance: Auto; Flash Fired: No; Orientation: Normal; Color Space: sRGB; Software: Adobe Photoshop Elements 10.0 Macintosh.
