If you've ever looked up at the clouds and wondered where they came from, you're not alone. Atmospheric researcher Lubna Dada is fascinated by the mystery of how clouds form and what role they ...

An international team combined theory, field measurements and lab experiments to develop a better understanding of the formation of clouds. Daniel Cziczo, (pronounced SIT-so) professor and head of ...

Question: How do clouds form and create different types of precipitation? — Qwest Cockman Answer: Clouds form when sufficiently moist air is cooled to the dew point temperature of the air or ...

When clouds form thick layers, we add the word “stratus,” or “layer,” to the name. Stratus can occur just above the ground, or a bit higher up – we call it altostratus then.

NASA’s Super Soaker mission was basically an extreme DIY project: To better understand how noctilucent, or night-shining clouds form, researchers made one from scratch. One frigid, predawn ...

They look dramatic (and let’s be honest, a little scary), but shelf clouds don’t mean tornadoes are coming. That’s a wall cloud you’re thinking of; different cloud, different setup.

The researchers focused on mixed-phase clouds, which contain both supercooled water and ice, forming between −39 °C and zero °C. These clouds are common in mid- and high-latitudes, especially ...

These clouds form where temperatures in the sky are super cold, often colder than -20! One of our viewers since in this pic of wispy cirrus clouds over Virginia.

Daniel Cziczo, (pronounced SIT-so) professor and head of Purdue University's Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences, said that, surprisingly, scientists didn't previously have a full ...
