PPT-The Antarctic Clouds Experiment:

Cloud projects under development at AAD Simon Alexander and Andrew Klekociuk with special thanks to Nick Chang for Davis lidar measurements Australian Antarctic Division Hobart Australia. By Kelsey Shields. Definition. A cloud is a visible collection of particles of ice or water suspended in the air, usually at an elevation above the earth’s surface.. Different Kinds. There are four different types of clouds families. We then break the four families into ten different genus. They differentiate in the way they look, and the level of height they are at..
