Study notes on "Clouds and its types"

Study notes on "Clouds and its types" (part 1)

CLOUD

A cloud is a visible mass of liquid droplets or frozen crystals made of water and/or various chemicals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of a planetary body.

In general, clouds form when rising air is cooled to its dew point (the temperature at which

the air becomes saturated). Water vapour normally begins to condense on condensation

nuclei such as dust, ice, and salt in order to form clouds. If sufficient condensation particles are

not present, the air will become supersaturated and the formation of cloud or fog will be inhibited The cloud formation is generally due to adiabatic cooling.

Sources of water vapour 

The main sources from which water vapour is added to the air are: 

• wind convergence over water or moist ground into areas of upward motion, 
• precipitation, 
• daytime heating leading to evaporation of water from the surface of oceans, 
• water bodies or wet land and
• transpiration from plants Significance of clouds

Clouds are very significant because:

•  They cause all forms of precipitation.
•  They play a major role in the heat budget of the earth.
•  They reflect, absorb some part of incoming solar radiation as well as some part of long-wave terrestrial radiation reradiated by the earth

Types of CLOUDS:

1. Cirrus clouds: These clouds form above 20,000 feet (6,000 meters) and since the temperatures are extremely low at such high elevations, these clouds are primarily composed of ice crystals. High-level cloud are typically thin and white in appearance, but can appear in a magnificent array of colours when the sun is low on the horizon.

2. Cirro-cumulus: These clouds appear as small, rounded white puffs. The small ripples in the cirrocumulus sometimes resemble the scales of a fish. A sky with cirrocumulus clouds is sometimes referred to as a "mackerel sky."

3. Cirro-stratus: These clouds are thin, sheetlike high clouds that often cover the entire sky. They are so thin that the sun and the moon can be seen through them.

Study Notes on El Niño and La Nina

El Niño 

El Nino happens when weakening trade winds (which sometimes even reverse direction) allow the warmer water from the western Pacific to flow toward the east. This flattens out the sea level, builds up warm surface water off the coast of South America, and increases the temperature of the water in the eastern Pacific.An El Nino condition results from weakened trade winds in the western Pacific Ocean near Indonesia, allowing piled-up warm water to flow toward South America.Since fish can no longer access this rich food source, many of them die off. That is why, these conditions are called "El Nino", or "the Christ Child", which is what Peruvian fisherman call the particularly bad fishing period around December. More importantly, the different water temperatures tend to change the weather of the region.

La Nina

If, on the other hand, the surface trade winds strengthen and with it the east-west slopes and along with it the east-west oceanic temperature gradients the resulting weather pattern leads to an anti-El Niño, that is often referred to as La Niña. Such events are characterized by a high positive Southern Oscillation Index (i.e. an increased westward pressure gradient over the  equatorial Pacific), stronger surface trade winds over the central Pacific, and cooler SSTs in the eastern equatorial Pacific. Such a weather pattern, on the other hand, is associated with increased cyclone activity in the western Pacific, off shore of eastern Australia, the Phillipines, and the western Atlantic region.
