Meteorologists have determined that there are 10 basic types of clouds. Each type can be identified in the cloud drawing by its initials and shape. Low Altitude Clouds:cumulus (Cu),stratus (St),stratocumulus (Sc),cumulonimbus (Cb) Mid Altitude Clouds:altocumulus(Ac),altostratus (As), andnimbo...
Convective clouds produce a significant proportion of the global precipitation and play an important role in the energy and water cycles. We quantify changes of the convective cloud ice mass-weighted altitude centroid (ZIWC) as a function of aerosol optical thickness (AOT). Analyses are conducted ...
Vulcanian eruptions create powerful explosions in which material can travel faster than 350 meters per second (800 mph) and rise several kilometers into the air. They produce tephra, ash clouds, and pyroclastic density currents (clouds of hot ash, gas and rock that flow almost like fluids). ...
Digital diplomacy can be understood as the use of digital resources by a country to achieve its foreign policy goals and proactively manage its image and reputation [1]. As the world becomes more digital, there is a growing us of social media platforms by countries as tools of communication w...
This chemtrail type has virtually no odor but does cause my sinuses to burn and become swollen. This has allowed me to get some sleep during this type of spray by breathing through my nose as much as possible, so long as it's not swollen completely shut (which it often is).The Iron...
Cloud, any visible mass of water droplets, ice crystals, or a mixture of both that is suspended in the air, usually at a considerable height (see video). Fog is a shallow layer of cloud at or near ground level. Clouds are formed when relatively moist air
Thunderstorm, a violent short-lived weather disturbance that is almost always associated with lightning, thunder, dense clouds, heavy rain or hail, and strong gusty winds. Learn more about thunderstorms, including their structure and the different types.
, the microphysical properties of clouds and precipitation are sensitive to the μ values because shape parameters play an important role in determining sedimentation and microphysical growth rates [42]. Considering that the three parameters of the gamma distribution are not independent of each other, ...
(Red, Green, Blue, Rededge, NIR) imagers in this study. Filming was conducted on June 21, 2021, a notably clear sky day without clouds. The flights were conducted under the following conditions: for the installation of the RedEdge-MX sensor, the ground sample distance (GSD) was set to ...
In this regard, the main limitation for the application of the tested snow and ice type classification approach on suitably distributed time steps is the occurrence of clouds at the survey dates, as clouds do falsify the results of a classification relying on optical remote sensing data in the ...
