Is your weather app predicting clouds? No need to pull out that umbrella just yet. Not all cloudy days are the same, or, not all clouds are the same to be exact. There are a number of distinguishing ...

With Michigan's changeable weather, residents get to see a lot of different cloud formations — fluffy cumulus, wispy cirrus and dark, threatening cumulonimbus — and recognizing what weather each type ...

According to NOAA, cloud iridescence is most common in altocumulus, cirrocumulus, lenticular and cirrus clouds. Mammatus ...

Clouds need two essential ingredients to form, and both must be present simultaneously for the process to begin. There are two ingredients needed for clouds to form: water and nuclei. The first ...

Atmospheric particles affect cloud formation in real time, researchers suggest. Clouds need tiny particles called aerosols that rise in the atmosphere, in order to form. These aerosols -- natural ones ...

Clouds form when water vapor—an invisible gas in the atmosphere—sticks to tiny floating particles, such as dust, and turns into liquid water droplets or ice crystals. In a newly published study, we ...

Weather forecasting can often seem as arcane as gazing into a crystal ball, but the skill lies in analyzing current conditions, identifying weather patterns and applying climatology to produce a ...

Atmospheric scientists have developed simple, physics-based equations that address some of the limitations of current methods for representing cloud formation in global climate models – important ...

A curious cloud photographed over Smith Mountain in Virginia this week looks more like something out of a fairytale or painting than it does in real life — and the science behind the formation is ...

A research team has explored how different cloud types impact solar forecasting. The scientists explained that clouds present a great challenge to solar forecasting due to diverse and complex ...
