Transcript: Types of Clouds Cumulus clouds are huge puffy clouds that look like cotton balls with flat bottoms. When white, they signal fair weather. When darker, they signal rain or thunderstorms. They are classified by the way they look. There are three main types of clouds, cirrus, cumulus, and stratus. By: Elise Lee Cirrus- Cirrus clouds are wispy in the sky. They are at high elevations (High Level) These clouds are white and signal very warm and fair weather. Stratus clouds are formed at low or medium elevation. The cloud bring gray days and possibly rain and they are stretched out and cover the whole sky usually. Types of Clouds: Stratus How are clouds formed? How are they classified? Clouds are formed when water vapor cools it condenses around particles around dust and smoke to make water droplets clouds form when a lot of them gather together. Types of Clouds: Cumulus Clouds Presentation

Transcript: Cloud Formation Summary of Key Points Ongoing and Future Studies on Clouds Process of Condensation Clouds form primarily through the process of condensation, where water vapor in the atmosphere cools and transforms back into liquid droplets. Understanding the dynamics of cloud formation is crucial for predicting weather patterns and assessing climate impacts. Condensation occurs when water vapor in the air cools and changes into liquid water droplets. This process is essential for cloud formation, as tiny droplets cluster around particulates, forming visible clouds when the saturation point is reached. Clouds are categorized into different types such as cirrus, cumulus, and stratus, each with unique characteristics. They influence weather patterns, climate regulation, and play integral roles in hydrological cycles, thus impacting ecosystems. Research on clouds includes advancements in satellite technology and modeling techniques. Scientists are investigating cloud microphysics and their effects on precipitation to enhance forecasting accuracy and climate models. Role of Temperature and Pressure Types of Atmospheric Conditions Temperature and pressure are critical factors in cloud formation. As air rises, it cools, reducing its capacity to hold water vapor, leading to condensation. High pressure typically results in clear skies, while low pressure favors cloud development. Different atmospheric conditions promote cloud formation. Warm, moist air is conducive to cumulus clouds, while stable, cooler air leads to stratus clouds. Additionally, frontal boundaries and orographic lifting trigger diverse cloud types, affecting weather patterns. Importance of Clouds in Climate Change Research Conclusion and Future Research Clouds significantly influence global warming by affecting both solar radiation and Earth's heat retention. Current research assesses cloud feedback mechanisms to better understand their role in climate change and inform climate policy. Clouds play a crucial role in Earth's weather and climate systems, affecting temperature regulation and precipitation patterns. Understanding clouds enhances our comprehension of atmospheric processes and climate dynamics. Cirrostratus Clouds Cirrus Clouds Types of Clouds Cirrostratus clouds are thin, ice-crystal clouds that cover the sky and often create halos around the sun or moon. Formed at high altitudes, they indicate potential changes in weather, particularly the approach of a warm front. Cirrus clouds are high-altitude clouds that form above 20,000 feet and are composed of ice crystals. They appear wispy and thin, often indicating fair weather, but can also signal an approaching storm when they thicken. Clouds come in various types, each uniquely defined by their shape, altitude, and formation process. Understanding these types is crucial for predicting weather patterns and phenomena. Clouds Presentation Cumulus Clouds Altostratus Clouds Altostratus clouds are gray or blue-gray clouds that form at mid-altitude, typically between 6,500 to 20,000 feet. They often cover the entire sky and can bring rain or snow when accompanied by other cloud types. Cumulus clouds are fluffy, white clouds with a cotton-like appearance, typically forming at low to mid-level altitudes. They usually indicate fair weather but can develop into larger storm clouds under the right conditions. Nimbus Clouds Nimbus clouds, particularly nimbostratus, are thick, dark clouds that result in continuous precipitation. They are characterized by their low altitude and widespread coverage, often leading to gloomy weather. Stratus Clouds Stratus clouds appear as uniform gray layers covering the sky, often resembling fog. These low-lying clouds can bring light rain or drizzle and typically indicate overcast conditions. Exploring Types, Formation, and Impact of Clouds Brief History of Cloud Studies Introduction to Clouds The study of clouds dates back to ancient civilizations, with early descriptions recorded by Aristotle. Modern meteorology began in the 19th century, leading to advances in cloud classification and understanding of their effects on the weather. Clouds are essential components of the Earth's atmosphere, influencing weather patterns and climate. They form as tiny water droplets or ice crystals suspended in the air, providing critical insights into meteorological processes. Importance of Clouds in Weather Systems Definition of Clouds Clouds are visible aggregates of water droplets or ice crystals floating in the atmosphere. They form when water vapor condenses around microscopic particles, leading to diverse shapes and types based on atmospheric conditions. Clouds play a critical role in weather systems by influencing precipitation, temperature, and atmospheric circulation. They affect energy balance by reflecting sunlight and trapping heat, thus impacting local and global climates. Influence on Climate Clouds contribute to climate by reflecting sunlight and trapping heat. This

Transcript: The Role of Particles Clouds The role of particles 3 types of clouds How Clouds Form Clouds form when warm moist air rises and cools. All the clouds types are cirrus, cirrocumulus,cumulus, cumulonimbus, stratus, nimbostratus The temperature at which condensation begins is called the dew point. Fog is when clouds form near the ground and cools at night after a humid day. Cirrus clouds are wispy feathery clouds that come from the high altitudes usually above 6 km and at low temperature. Cirrus clouds are made up of ice crystals. Cumulus clouds look like cotton and form less than 2 km above the ground.They extend upwards as much as 18 km. Stratus clouds form into flat layers they usually cover most of the sky and they are dull and gray. As the clouds thicken they may start to drizzle rain or snow. Then when that happens it called nimbostratus clouds. Weather associated with clouds Tiny particles are present in the atmosphere. This will make a surface for the water to condense on. Also most of the particles are salt crystals, dust from soil, or smoke. Water vapor also condenses on solid surface such as blades of grass or window panes. Cirrus cloud is associated with indicates fair weather Cumulus cloud is associated with thunderstorms Stratus cloud is associated with drizzle, rain, or snow By: Autumn Serner Clouds form when water vapor in the air condenses to form liquid water or ice crystals. Molecules of water vapor in the air become liquid water in a process called condensation. Two conditions are required for condensation.

Transcript: Cloud Presentation By: Ty Hoier Cirrus (High) Cirrus Cirrus clouds can be described as short, detached, hair-like clouds found at high altitudes in the sky. They form from the ascent of dry air, making the vapor in the could solidify into ice. Cirrostratus (High) Cirrostratus These clouds are transparent, high altitude clouds that cover large areas of the sky. They form from slowly rising air. Cirrocumulus (High) Cirrocumulus A cirrocumulus cloud is one that forms a broken layer of small fleecy clouds at high altitudes. It is formed by being made up of both ice and "supercooled" water. Altostratus (Middle) Altostratus Altostratus are large, mid-level sheets of thin cloud. They're usually composed of a mixture of water droplets and ice crystals. They are also sometimes thin enough to see the sun through them. Altocumulus (Middle) Altocumulus Altocumulus clouds that appear on a clear humid morning can indicate the development of thunderstorms later in the day. They are spotted looking clouds that are formed by the following: • Formation through the breakup of altostratus • The lifting of moist air pockets which are cooled by gentle turbulence • Mountainous terrain producing atmospheric waves from which clouds can form. Stratus (Low) Stratus Stratus clouds are low-level layers with a fairly grey or white color. Stratus clouds form in calm, stable conditions when gentle breezes raise cool air over colder land or ocean surfaces. Stratocumulus (Low) Stratocumulus Stratocumulus clouds are low-level clumps that are the most common clouds on earth recognised by their well-defined bases. They are formed when warm, moist air rises into the atmosphere. Nimbostratus (Low) Nimbostratus clouds are dark, grey, featureless layers of cloud. These clouds produce persistent rain and are associated with frontal systems. Nimbostratus clouds form through the deepening and thickening of an altostratus cloud. Nimbostratus Cumulus (Vert. Dev.) Cumulus clouds are cauliflower-shaped clouds usually spotted in fair weather conditions that look like tufts. All cumulus clouds develop because of convection. Cumulus Cumulonimbus (Vert. Dev.) Cumulonimbus Cumulonimbus clouds are menacing looking multi-level clouds, and are better known as "thunder clouds". They form along cold fronts as a result of forced convection, where milder air is forced to rise over the incoming cold air.

Transcript: THANKS FOR WATCHING!! The types of clouds :) Some pics of clouds! A cloud is a large collection of very tiny droplets of water or ice crystals. The droplets are tiny. And when i say tiny i mean smaller than a speck of flour. It takes four of them to make a width of one strand of hair! All air contains water, but near the ground it is usually in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor. When warm air rises, it expands and cools. Cool air can't hold as much water vapor as warm air, so some of the vapor condenses onto tiny pieces of dust that are floating in the air and forms a tiny droplet around each dust particle. When billions of these droplets come together they become a visible cloud There are 8 different cloud types. And here they are! 1.Altocumulus 6.Clouds move . 2. Cirrus 7.Cumuloninbus 3. Stratus 8.Altostratus 4. Stratocumulus 5.Cumulus continuing answers In this Prezi you will learn all about clouds! Now we have a cloud chart! 3.Clouds are composed primarily of small water droplets and, if it's cold enough, ice crystals. The majority of clouds you see contain droplets and/or crystals that are too small to have any appreciable fall velocity. So the particles continue to float with the surrounding air. 4.Clouds move because they have small water particles. Wind can move clouds through the sky. This causes air cooling. During a storm, clouds move up to 40 mph. That's it for answering those questions! PLEASE ENJOY THIS VIDEO! :) Now here are some questions that we will answer: 1.Why are clouds white? 2.Why do clouds turn gray? 3.Why do clouds float? 4.How do clouds move? Answers 1.Clouds appear white because the light coming from the sun has to pass and the colors from the rainbow and mixes them to make white and the cloud absorbs it. 2.It's a little more complicated than this, but basically, clouds look gray when they block sunlight. The thicker the cloud, the more light it blocks. Have you ever just looked up in the sky and wondered about haw clouds are formed and what types of clouds there are? Well at the end of this Prezi you will all be smarter than when we first started! CLOUDS,CLOUDS,CLOUDS!! Introduction How clouds are formed
