Clouds and precipitation

4.html
Adiabatic Temperature Changes and Expansion
and Cooling
 Temperature change
 Dry adiabatic rate
 Heating or cooling of saturated air
 Wet adiabatic rate
 Slow cooling by the adding of latent heat

Orographic Lifting
 Land masses makes air flow over it
 Rainiest places are the cause of this
 Most moister is lost by the time the air reaches the
other side

Convergence
 Collision of different air masses to make air rise
 Causes
 Cloud development
 Precipitation
http://apollo.lsc.vsc.edu/classes/met130/n
otes/chapter6/lift_converge.html
http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/gui
des/mtr/cld/dvlp/cnvrg.rxml
Localized Convective Lifting
 Unequal heating
 Pockets warming
 Particles rising called Thermals
http://www.richhoffmanclass.com/chapter
4.html
Stability
 Stabile air stays
 Unstable air rises
 Clouds will not form there is unstable air
http://keithrogershome.com/Chap6Stabili
tyInstability.html
Condensation
 Saturated air
 It forms in dew, fog, or clouds
 Occurs when air reaches dew point

Types of Clouds
 Cirrus clouds wispy, slim, and high clouds
 Cumulus clouds round, individual air masses middle and low altitude
 Classified on the basis of formation and height
http://eo.ucar.edu/webweather/cloud3.ht
ml
High Clouds
 Cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus clouds
 Slim, whitish clouds
 Made of ice crystals
 Cirrus clouds are sometimes followed by a storm
http://www.weatherreport.com/Local-
weather-forecasts-Cloud-Reading.asp
http://eo.ucar.edu/kids/sky/clouds3.htm
Middle Clouds
 Altocumulus clouds
 2,000 to 6,000 meters high
 Big dense curved clouds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Altocum
ulus_clouds2_-_NOAA.jpg
http://www.ifimages.com/public/imag
39051/view.html
http://www.our-earth.net/Altocumulus-
Clouds.asp
Low Clouds
 Stratus, stratocumulus, nimbostratus clouds
 Sometimes includes light precipitation
 Fog like layer
http://urbanext.illinois.edu/kalani/18.cfm
http://www.windows2universe.org/earth/
Atmosphere/clouds/stratocumulus.html
Clouds of Vertical Development
 The category where that
clouds don’t fit
 Low elevation range
 Sometimes ascend up to
mid and high altitudes
http://www.free-online-private-pilot-
ground-school.com/Aviation-Weather-
Principles.html
Fog
 Similar to a cloud
 A cloud with its base at or near the ground
 The denser the tougher to see
http://www.brainharmonycenter.com/brai
n-fog.html
http://outofthefog.net/
Cold Cloud Precipitation
 Two physical processes
 Suppercooling- when precipitation freezes when it
touches a solid surface
 Supper saturated – when relative
humidity surpasses 100%

Warm Cloud Precipitation
 Collision-coalescence process makes rainwater
 Salt particles absorb water vapor taking it out of the
air
 Often big droplets form.

Rain and Snow
 Rain means water that falls from a cloud
 Snow made of individual crystals

tree-in-northern-norway/
Sleet, Glaze and Hail
 Sleet- The fall of small translucent ice partials
 Glaze- Raindrops becoming supercolled as they fall
through subfreezing air near the ground
 Hail- Water vapor that go through a processes of
freezing then pushed up making it bigger every time
it goes through
