Today, 10 basic cloud forms are recognized, all of which owe a debt to Howard's nomenclature. Some are low-level clouds that exist below 6,500 feet, such as cumulus, stratus, and stratocumulus.

Scientists have a new explanation for the last two years of record heat Rising temperatures are fueled, in part, by declining cloud cover — which could be a potential climate feedback loop.

If CO2 levels rise above 1,200 ppm — where they’d be in roughly a century if emissions continue at the current rate — stratocumulus clouds would begin to disappear, according to the report.

Weather officials say different types of clouds can tell you what kind of weather to expect. Here's a look at the different types.

Spinning columns of air take many forms, from areas of high and low pressure, to much smaller scale ranging from harmless ...

Actinoform clouds generally form lower in the atmosphere (around 6,600 feet above Earth), over water, in areas where stratocumulus clouds are common.

Detecting drizzle in its early stages in marine stratocumulus clouds is important for studying how water in clouds becomes rainfall. However, detecting the initial stages of drizzle is challenging ...

The sky may have caught your attention recently with some uncommon clouds over our area, making it a great time to learn the difference between many types of clouds.

Vertical profiles of aerosol and cloud properties are required to improve models and decrease uncertainties, particularly over oceans due to the susceptibility of marine clouds to small changes in ...

One-year experiment to study clouds launches at La Jolla’s Scripps Pier and Mount Soledad More than 1,400 weather balloons will be sent into the atmosphere over the next year to gather data for ...
