Presentation transcript:

Cloud Formation A cloud is a collection of liquid water droplets and/or ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere and dense enough to be visible. Clouds form when the temperature cools below the dew point Only get clouds when air is rising! Condensation:

Cloud Formation Steps to Form a Cloud: Factors Causing Air to Rise

Cloud Formation In addition to saturated air, clouds need a condensation surface.

Precipitation Precipitation: the falling of liquid or solid water from clouds toward the surface of Earth. – Ice crystals or water droplets must become big enough that they fall due to gravity. Rain Gauge: measures liquid precipitation

Atmospheric Transparency Atmospheric transparency: how transparent the atmosphere is to insolation from the Sun. Haze: when the atmosphere has a very HIGH aerosol content (cloudless sky does not appear blue) – Smog: a haze that is highly polluted; usually brownish Precipitation can clean the atmosphere
