What a great view of an anvil cloud. If all meteorologists had this perspective, we could provide a detailed forecast of what to expect from these clouds based on cloud identification. Doppler radar can show reflectivity, intensity of winds and movement. But wouldn't be neat to see an anvil cloud at this angle during a forecast verifying the type of cloud formation we are dealing with. Pare this with Doppler and we have a pretty visual forecast. Unfortunately you only see this view of the clouds from the camera in my hands on the plane.
