New research provides insights into how cirrus clouds form, with implications for agriculture, urban development and climate-change predictions. The study shows that trees and plants play an important ...

Thin cirrus clouds at high altitude allow most of the shortwave radiation (yellow) to pass through to the surface. As the earth warms, it emits longwave radiation (red) ...

IT would be interesting if any of the readers of NATURE could give some information respecting the usual height of cirrus clouds. Mr. Clement Ley, in his work, “The Laws of the Winds,” states ...

Cirrus clouds are unique in that they are made up of ice crystals, whereas most other clouds contain condensed droplets of liquid water. When most people think of clouds, ...

I HAVE just received from the Meteorological Observatory at Upsal, Sweden, a number of blank forms (with instructions in English) for observations of the directions of the cirrus cloud. Copies of ...

Most clouds fit under four core categories: to the cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and nimbus. However, nacreous clouds are a cool phenomenon worth seeing.
