Summary

Description
English: Stratocumulus clouds above the northwestern Pacific Ocean, about 460 miles east of northern Honshu, Japan. This is a descending pass with a panoramic view looking southeast in late afternoon light with the terminator (upper left). The cloud pattern is typical for this part of the world. The low clouds carry cold air over a warmer sea with no discernable storm pattern.

Original image caption
On Jan. 4 a large presence of stratocumulus clouds was the central focus of camera lenses which remained aimed at the clouds as the Expedition 34 crew members aboard the International Space Station flew above the northwestern Pacific Ocean about 460 miles east of northern Honshu, Japan. This is a descending pass with a panoramic view looking southeast in late afternoon light with the terminator (upper left). The cloud pattern is typical for this part of the world. The low clouds carry cold air over a warmer sea with no discernable storm pattern.
Español: Vista orbital de nubes estratocúmulos sobre el noroeste del Océano Pacífico, a unas 460 millas al este del norte de Honshu, Japón. El patrón de nubes es típico de esta parte del mundo. Las nubes bajas transportan aire frío sobre un mar más cálido sin producir un patrón de tormenta perceptible.
