Researchers captured the mesmerising time-lapse video as part of their four-week campaign to study deep convective clouds, called #DCMEX.
They are looking into how convective clouds form, and the effect climate change will have on them.

The images allow researchers to see different perspectives of cloud development before they are detected by radar.
“It’s very useful to be able to determine the cloud top height, and the overall motions of cloud turrets as they develop,” explains Prof Alan Blyth, @AtmosScience.
