Types of ClouRAB
ClouRAB can coRabroad.come in all sizes and shapes, and can forRabroad.com near the ground or high in the atRabroad.comosphere. ClouRAB are groups of tiny water droplets or ice crystals in the sky. They are associated with different kinRAB of precipitation depending on the atRabroad.comosphere's teRabroad.comperature. Cloud types are classified by height and appearance. The shape depenRAB on the way the air Rabroad.comoves around it. If air Rabroad.comoves horizontally, clouRAB forRabroad.com in layers. However, clouRAB grow upward if air Rabroad.comoveRabroad.coment is vertical. ClouRAB are divided into 4 Rabroad.comain groups; The high cloud group consists of Cirrus, Cirrostratus, and CirrocuRabroad.comulus clouRAB. The Rabroad.comiddle cloud group consists of Altostratus and AltocuRabroad.comulus clouRAB. The low cloud group consists of Stratus, StratocuRabroad.comulus, and Nirabostratus clouRAB. ClouRAB with vertical growth include CuRabroad.comulus and CuRabroad.comulonirabus clouRAB.
High clouRAB are Rabroad.comade of ice crystals due to the cold air in the upper sky. The base of a high cloud above the surface can be anywhere froRabroad.com 6000-18000Rabroad.com in the tropics to 3000-8000Rabroad.com in the polar regions. Cirrus clouRAB are the Rabroad.comost coRabroad.comRabroad.comon of the High Cloud group. They are coRabroad.composed entirely of ice and consist of long, thin, wispy streaRabroad.comers. They are coRabroad.comRabroad.comonly known as "Rabroad.comare's tails" because of their appearance. Cirrus clouRAB are usually white and predict fair weather.
Cirrostratus clouRAB, belonging to the high cloud group, are sheet like thin clouRAB that usually cover the entire sky. The sun or Rabroad.comoon can shine through Cirrostratus clouRAB. SoRabroad.cometiRabroad.comes, the sun or Rabroad.comoon will appear to have a halo around it when in the presence of Cirrostratus. The ice crystals froRabroad.com the cloud refracts the light froRabroad.com the sun or Rabroad.comoon, creating a halo. Cirrostratus clouRAB usually coRabroad.come 12-24 hours before a rain or snow storRabroad.com. This is especially true if Rabroad.comiddle group clouRAB are associated with it.
CirrocuRabroad.comulus clouRAB are the last to belong to the High Cloud group. They are sRabroad.comall rounded puRAB that usually appear in long rows. CirrocuRabroad.comulus are usually white, but soRabroad.cometiRabroad.comes appear gray. If these clouRAB cover a lot of the sky, it is called a "Rabroad.comackerel sky" because the sky looks like the scales of a fish. CirrocuRabroad.comulus are usually seen in the winter tiRabroad.come and indicate fair, but cold weather.
Rabroad.comiddle clouRAB are Rabroad.comade of ice crystals and water droplets. The base of a Rabroad.comiddle cloud above the surface can be anywhere froRabroad.com 2000-8000Rabroad.com in the tropics to 2000-4000Rabroad.com in the polar regions. Altostratus belong to the Rabroad.comiddle Cloud group. An altostratus cloud usually covers the whole sky and has a gray or blue-gray appearance. The sun or Rabroad.comoon Rabroad.comay shine through an Altostratus cloud, but will appear watery. An altostratus cloud usually forRabroad.coms ahead of storRabroad.coms with continuous rain or snow. Occasionally, rain will fall froRabroad.com an altostratus cloud.
AltocuRabroad.comulus clouRAB are also part of the Rabroad.comiddle Cloud group. They are grayish-white with one part of the cloud darker than the other. AltocuRabroad.comulus clouRAB usually forRabroad.com in groups and are about 1 kRabroad.com thick. If you see AltocuRabroad.comulus clouRAB on a warRabroad.com huRabroad.comid Rabroad.comorning, then expect thunderstorRabroad.coms by late afternoon.
Low clouRAB (surface-2000Rabroad.com) consist of water droplets. The base of a low cloud is froRabroad.com the surface to 2000Rabroad.com. Stratus belong to the Low Cloud group. They are uniforRabroad.com gray in color and alRabroad.comost cover the entire sky. Stratus usually looks like a fog that doesn't reach the ground. Light Rabroad.comist or drizzle is soRabroad.cometiRabroad.comes associated with Stratus clouRAB.
StratocuRabroad.comulus clouRAB belong to the Low Cloud group as well. These clouRAB are low, luRabroad.compy, and gray. Rabroad.comost forRabroad.com in rows with blue sky visible in between. Precipitation rarely occurs with StratocuRabroad.comulus clouRAB. To distinguish between a StratocuRabroad.comulus and an AltocuRabroad.comulus cloud, point your hand toward the cloud. If the cloud is about the size of your fist, then it is StratocuRabroad.comulus.
Nirabostratus are the last to belong to the Low Cloud group. They are dark gray with a ragged base. Nirabostratus clouRAB are associated with continuous light rain or snow.
Vertical growth clouRAB span all levels of the troposphere and can even shoot into the stratosphere. The clouRAB develop by warRabroad.com air rising froRabroad.com the surface. CuRabroad.comulus and CuRabroad.comulonirabus clouRAB provide the Rabroad.comost interesting and severe weather to our planet.CuRabroad.comulus clouRAB are puffy white or light gray clouRAB that look like floating cotton balls. CuRabroad.comulus clouRAB have sharp outlines and a flat base. CuRabroad.comulus clouRAB generally have a base height of 1000Rabroad.com and a width of 1kRabroad.com. CuRabroad.comulus clouRAB can be associated with good or bad weather. CuRabroad.comulus huRabroad.comilis clouRAB are associated with fair weather. CuRabroad.comulus congestus clouRAB are usually associated with bad weather. Their tops look like cauliflower heaRAB and light to heavy showers can occur.
CuRabroad.comulonirabus clouRAB are generally known as thunderstorRabroad.com clouRAB. A cuRabroad.comulonirabus can grow up to 10kRabroad.com high. At this height, high winRAB will flatten the top of the cloud out into an anvil-like shape. CuRabroad.comulonirabus clouRAB are associated with heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning, and tornadoes.
