Summary
Whether studied from the ground, from within Earth's atmosphere, or from orbiting satellites, clouds provide useful information about emerging weather patterns. They often have a direct impact on those patterns as well. This program examines the atmospheric conditions that cause clouds to form in the troposphere and the factors that make them either retain or disperse water. Viewers learn about cloud composition and how air masses collect atmospheric moisture; how and why stratus, cumulus, and cirrus patterns occur; how cloud types are also parsed into ten groups of low-, middle- or high-altitude status; and how clouds move, change in temperature, and give way to condensation.
