Yuter. , Matthew Miller, David . Two key impacts. Cloud feedback. Response of clouds to increased CO. 2. Aerosol indirect effects (AIEs). Response of clouds to changes in aerosol particles. Cloud feedbacks. Uncertainty in cloud feedbacks is main source of uncertainty in climate sensitivity. What is a cloud?. A cloud is a group of water droplets in the atmosphere.. The water vapor condenses during the water cycle to form clouds.. Cirrus Clouds. They are the highest clouds.. They look thin, wispy, or feathery.. 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.

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. The Second International Workshop on .

Title. : Route de Louveciennes. . The layer of gases surrounding Earth; composed mainly of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, and other gases (water vapor, dust, pollutants, etc.). Brainpop: . Earth’s atmosphere. Layers of the Atmosphere. 5. Water in the atmosphere – in all its phases. Last week, we focussed on the weather systems found in the mid-latitudes.. The heart of the mid-latitudes is the polar front, where warm, tropical air from the south meets cold, polar air from the north..
