Clouds are important for the Earth's energy balance because they interact with radiation in different ways: On one hand, low clouds reflect incoming solar radiation and thus cool the Earth through a ...
A previously observed trend of high altitude clouds in the mid-latitudes shifting toward the poles is caused primarily by the expansion of the tropics, a new NASA analysis of 30-years of satellite ...

Noctilucent clouds over the Baltic Sea, as seen from Germany in 2019. Typically seen in polar regions, the clouds are increasingly appearing at mid- and low latitudes. Matthias Süßen via Wikimedia ...
Student pilots can calculate the cloud base above ground level (AGL) when automated airport weather reports are unreliable. The formula for cloud base AGL is: (Surface Temperature (F) - Dew Point (F)) ...
Astronomers have observed thick, mineral-rich clouds, potentially containing iron, enveloping the young exoplanet YSES-1b, leading to the possibility of iron rain. The YSES-1 system, only a million ...
