Above: Marine stratocumulus clouds in the Pacific off the coast of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula on September 12, 2018. Northwesterly winds are creating a spiraling Kármán vortex street in the clouds in the ...

Stratocumulus clouds spread out like puffy cotton balls in orderly rows above the ocean in the sub-tropics. The low-hovering clouds provide the planet shade and help keep Earth cool. But in a new ...

Professor Tapio Schneider discusses a new study examining the relationship between stratocumulus cloud formation and high levels of atmospheric CO2 DIMITRI LASCARIS: This is Dimitri Lascaris, ...

A blanket of strange pock-marked clouds has been spotted by NASA satellites off the coast of Chile. A picture of the beautiful cloud formations taken in August last year was featured as NASA Earth ...

Drizzle is light precipitation in droplets smaller than rain drops. Detecting drizzle in its early stages in marine stratocumulus clouds is important for studying how water in these clouds becomes ...

Stratocumulus clouds form large carpets in the sky covering approximately 20% of the earth’s surface. They reflect around 40% of the sun’s radiation back into space. The international research team ...

Here is a small sampling of the many things climate change has already ruined: Greenland, human mental health, and the very cute bramble cay. Now, as scientists predict in a controversial Nature ...

When's the last time you went cloud-gazing? Sinking, rising, spreading, changing—there’s always something exciting happening to the clouds overhead. The big puffy ones—what are they called? And the ...

The way clusters of differently sized water droplet populations are distributed within clouds affects larger-scale cloud properties, such as how light is scattered and how quickly precipitation forms.
