Second Grade Science. By: Christy Gibson . Clouds. A . cloud is composed of tiny water droplets (or ice crystals) that are suspended in the air. . If . the droplets become large enough. , they . may be visible as a cloud or fog. Meera. Mehtaji. CLOUDS. Four Types of Clouds. Cirrus Clouds . Cumulonimbus Clouds. Cumulus clouds. Stratus Clouds. Cirrus Clouds . Cirrus clouds are the most common of the . High Cloud. (5000-13000m) group.. Notes/Vocabulary. How do clouds form?. when warm air & cold air meet, cold air pushes up the warm air and a cloud can form. when air rises and cools, the water vapor in the air condenses into tiny water droplets and forms a cloud. and . Sky Conditions. S4E3. Students will differentiate between the states of water and how they relate to the water cycle and weather.. e. Investigate different forms of precipitation and sky conditions (rain, snow, sleet, hail, clouds, and fog).. Cumulus Clouds. Stratocumulus. Layered but puffy clouds at lower to mid elevations. Cumulus Clouds. Altocumulus. Thick puffy clouds that can be found at middle elevations. Cumulus Clouds. Cirrocumulus. 20130806a, . conditions. Tuesday . Aug. 6. Slight chance of T-storms in South OR this PM, mostly east of the Cascades. Medford office is still skeptical of anything . this afternoon, but should note this anyway.. Stratus. Stratus clouds are low sheets of gray clouds that cover the sky. . Nimbostratus. Stratus can change into nimbostratus clouds. These clouds bring periods of rain. Any cloud with “nimb” in its name is a rain cloud. . Cirrus. Feathery or tufted. Looks like horse tails. Are found between 6000 and 12,000 meters. Made of ice crystals. May be followed by rain or snow. Cirrus. Stratus. Means sheets or layers. Flat, gray clouds that cover the whole sky. Robert Wood Graham Feingold Dave Turner. Warm cloud responses to aerosols. Microphysical, structural, and dynamical properties of low, liquid-phase clouds show sensitivity to aerosol loading, . but. the responses are not uniform. AWIPS/AWIPS2 Examples and Product Information. GOES-EAST MVFR Probability. AWIPS. AWIPS2. This is the probability that the cloud ceiling is below 3000 . ft. and/or the surface visibility is less than 5 mi. Andy . Heidinger. . Michael . Pavolonis. NOAA / STAR. Patrick . Minnis.

CLOUDS. A . cloud. is a visible collection of billions of small water and/or ice particles suspended in the atmosphere above Earth’s surface. Clouds form when water vapor condenses..
