shows a Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell in action—a meteorological process that occurs when warm air rises and cooler air sinks. These cells often result in cloud formations shaped by the ...

Asperitas clouds are a distinctive, but relatively rare cloud formation that takes the appearance of rippling waves.

Cloud formation can also often change rapidly ... stratiform clouds, congestus, deep convective clouds, altostratus, altocumulus, cirrostratus/anvil and cirrus. The work built upon earlier ...

Professor Friedrich’s research, for example, focuses on investigating kinematic and microphysical processes relevant for cloud formation. Professor Toohey ... and the role of convective and cirrus ...
