Hazardous conditions exist in and around cumulonimbus clouds that can easily surpass the design criteria and performance capabilities of aircraft of all types. Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds. Cumulonimbus are associated with heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning, and tornadoes. Clouds that produce rain like nimbostratus and cumulonimbus are also common at warm fronts. These enormous clouds, the tops of which may reach more than 15,000 meters in altitude, often produce stormy precipitation. 1) The clouds are pushed by the wind:Cumulonimbus clouds begin to form when wind pushes some small pieces of clouds (cumulus clouds) to an area where these clouds converge (see figures 17 and 18). As mentioned, when water vapor (moisture) is drawn upwards through an unstable air mass on a hot day, a cumulonimbus cloud may start to form. Clouds celebrates every aspect of clouds, including how they are formed, their different types, how they help predict the weather, and how they are transformed by geography, climate and the seasons. Thunderstorm Hazards. Mammatus clouds. Like cirrus clouds these are formed with ice crystals also. From Scijinks.gov/clouds Cumulonimbus Clouds Cumulonimbus clouds like the one above occur on very hot days when warm, wet air rises (Figure 3). Many can climb tens of thousands of feet into the sky and can be seen from dozens of miles away. A cumulonimbus cloud which has reached the level of stratospheric stability and has formed the characteristic flat, anvil-top shape. Nimbus clouds are black or dark gray. answer choices Cumulonimbus clouds are a vertically developed cumulus cloud, … An example of a vertical cloud is the Cumulonimbus cloud. They are generally known as thunderstorm clouds. These clouds formed are an indication of heavy rainfall, lightning, and storm. Cumulus clouds are the white puffy clouds that we commonly see on sunny, summer afternoons and are most often the type that form during the passage of cold fronts. The thin wispy clouds that can be seen in the sky are the Cirrus clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning, and tornadoes. It´s the bigger in vertical formation!! Examples of cumulus congestus are also found in the cumulus section of Low Clouds. In this schematic from the National Weather Service’s online school, JetStream, you can see that where the radar reflectivity shows the heaviest rain with the reds and oranges, the cloud is deep. How are clouds formed Wikipedia? take up several miles across . The remaining cumuliform (cumulus) and stratocumuliform (stratocumulus, altocumulus, and cirrocumulus) clouds have the least in common with nimbus. Mammatus clouds. Cumulus (Cu) Detached, generally dense clouds and with sharp outlines that develop vertically in the form of rising mounds, domes or towers with bulging upper parts often resembling a cauliflower. If the warm air above a warm front is moist and conditionally unstable, altocumulus and cumulonimbus clouds form. Cumulonimbus, with its strong vertical updraft, extends well into the the high level of clouds. 18. Clouds are formed when the water from rivers, lakes and oceans evaporate and go into the atmosphere. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning and even tornadoes. According to Dr. Forbes, the mammtus clouds are formed when ice crystals fall out of the cumulonimbus cloud's anvil. CiteSeerX - Document Details (Isaac Councill, Lee Giles, Pradeep Teregowda): To study the behavior of clusters of cumulonimbus clouds associated with heavy rainfalls, radar observations were carried out from 25 June to 11 July 1984 in the northwestern part of Kyushu Island. Cumulonimbus: Giant and ominous, we all know cumulonimbus clouds as the clouds in thunderstorms. There are many different types of clouds that can be seen. Cumulonimbus is a heavy cloud that make storms, thunderstorms, strong rain, hail, etc. If lots of water vapor is available, the pyrocumulus can develop into a cumulonimbus… Main differences between Cumulonimbus and similar clouds of other genera (Section 2.3.10.6) When Cumulonimbus covers a large expanse of the sky, it can easily be confused with Nimbostratus , especially when identification is based solely on the appearance of the undersurface. For instance, cumulus clouds can go on to form cumulonimbus clouds and play havoc in the surroundings. Clouds Form in Different Ways As it rises, its pressure and temperature drop causing water vapor to condense. It is difficult to locate the bottom of a pyrocumulus cloud as it is often obscure by the ash generated by the fire or the volcanic eruption. A cumulonimbus cloud can grow up to 10km high. A cumulonimbus without the "pyre" part is imposing enough -- a massive, anvil-shaped tower of power reaching five miles (8 km) high, hurling thunderbolts, wind and rain. The presence of cumulus clouds in the atmosphere can either be a sign of extremely good climatic conditions or extremely bad climatic conditions. Tags: Question 5 . The overwhelming amount of water droplets and ice crystals result in … Figure 17: Satellite photo showing the clouds … Mammatus Clouds Mammatus clouds are low hanging bulges that droop from cumulonimbus clouds. When cumulus clouds are first formed from droplets, they Mammatus clouds are actually altocumulus, cirrus, cumulonimbus, or other types of clouds that have these pouch-like shapes hanging out of the bottom. Cumulonimbus clouds are one of the most recognisable cloud types, characterised by […] Cumulonimbus clouds belong to the Clouds with Vertical Growth group. Cumulonimbus cloud tops are usually always flattened in the shape of an anvil or plume. When several cumulonimbus clouds occur beside each other, forming a line, they become what is known as a “squall”. These clouds are enormous, stretching from a low base of nearly 600 m (2000 ft) to 18,000 m (39,000 ft). The previous clouds all formed as a result of rising air. Rising air currents containing water vapor and varying layers of differing-temperature air in the upper atmosphere result in these dramatic cloud formations. Watch this video all about clouds: SURVEY . Most thunderstorms form with three stages: the cumulus stage when storm clouds form, the mature stage when the storm is fully formed, and then the dissipating stage when the storm weakens and breaks apart.. Learn More All About Clouds and How They Are Formed. ... duces precipitation is a cumulonimbus. Cumulonimbus clouds are a common type of rain-making cloud. Noctilucent clouds, the highest clouds in Earth’s atmosphere are formed in the (A) Troposphere (B) Stratosphere (C) Mesosphere (D) Thermosphere. Special Clouds. But, whereas other clouds form when air currents rise several thousand feet and then condense where those currents stop, the convective air currents that create cumulonimbus are so powerful, their air rises tens of … They have very flat bases and are not very tall clouds. The anvil usually points in the direction the storm is moving. Warm fronts produce clouds when warm air replaces cold air by sliding above it. Their bases generally lie below 6,500 feet (2,000 meters). Clouds disintegrate whenever the surrounding air warms up and transforms moisture into vapor. Once the air rises, it follows the same process to form clouds as described above. Cumulus congestus and cumulonimbus. Hail is formed in the storm cloud's main updraft, where most of the cloud is in the form of "supercooled" water. Cumulonimbus - Cumulonimbus clouds are very tall clouds that … This is why these clouds are also known as thunderstorm clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds are typically accompanied by lower altitude cumulus clouds, growing vertically instead of horizontally, contributing to the mushroom shape of the cumulonimbus. If observed during a storm, these clouds may be referred to as thunderheads. As discussed in “Courtney’s Cloud Corner: Cumulonimbus Clouds”, when warm moist air rises and cools in an updraft, it forms a cloud. As they grow much taller than a cumulus cloud, they can occur at altitudes up to 50,000 feet. Research shows that the lower base of the cloud consists of water droplets while the high-altitude boasts ice crystals. Cumulus. Often, thunderstorms will be embedded in the cloud masses. fair skies. When you look up in the sky, you realize that no two clouds look exactly alike. Cumulonimbus clouds contain vast amounts of energy in the form of updrafts and downdrafts. At this height, high winds will flatten the top of the cloud out into an anvil-like shape. Mammatus clouds are formed the same way cumulus clouds are formed, but in reverse. Depending on the composition are divided into 3 groups: Water - completely composed of drops of water (above -10 ℃). Clouds are formed when the water from rivers, lakes and oceans evaporate and go into the atmosphere. Cumulonimbus Clouds look like a mushroom and are easily recognizable due to their shape. What about the origin of the expression "to be on cloud 9"? Nimbostratus clouds are dark gray clouds that produce falling rain or snow. Cumulonimbus clouds are dense, towering vertical clouds with a flat base, formed from water vapor carried by air currents. These clouds may be associated to cumulonimbus clouds, but more of the anvil part of that cumulonimbus cloud. I know how sleet, freezing rain, rain, snow, graupel is formed, and I know that hail is formed from Cumulonimbus Clouds. Their vertical height must extend through at least two layers; low and mid-level or mid-level and high level. Violent up-and-down wind currents within the clouds develop, causing the top to boil higher and higher. In addition to the above, the prefix nimbo or the suffix nimbus means raincloud. Contrails The previous clouds all formed as a result of rising air. They look like discs or flying saucers that form near mountains. Where did the name come from? Eventually, enough moisture will condense out of the air to form a cloud. Nimbostratus, stratocumulus, and stratus clouds can also form at cold front. Description & Characteristics. High winds can flatten the top of the cloud into an anvil-like shape. Regular ol’ cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds are beautiful on their own, but there are different formations and appendages that can make these clouds even more spectacular. Cumulonimbus clouds are dense, vertical, towering clouds commonly associated with instability in the atmosphere and thunderstorms. hot, sunny weather. The pouches are created when cold air within the cloud sinks down toward the Earth. Cumulonimbus clouds are heavy and dense; they tend to build dramatically upward and are often harbingers of thunderstorms, hail, or tornadoes. Further cooling allows water vapour to condense into cloud droplets. The tops of these clouds can reach as high as 30,000 feet. Clouds are essentially a collection of tiny droplets of water or ice crystals in the atmosphere. Clouds are essentially a collection of tiny droplets of water or ice crystals in the atmosphere. Stratus clouds … The types of clouds that form in this case are cumulonimbus (and associated mammatus clouds), and cumulus. Two examples are the nimbostratus or cumulonimbus clouds. Cumulonimbus (from Latin cumulus, "heaped" and nimbus, "rainstorm") is a dense, towering vertical cloud, [1] forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. Sources: They can occur alone or as part of a line of clouds. The biggest clouds, cumulonimbus are at an altitude of 9.7 kilometers ( approximately 6 miles) and have the capacity to hold up to half a million tons of water. Cumulonimbus (from the Latin for "puffy" and "dark") clouds form due to vigorous movement of warm and moist unstable air. They are magnificent in size and often look like an alien space ship. Grey or white patches and layers formed by groups of rounded masses. The explanation is curious. Cumulonimbus clouds are large, flat clouds that spread across the sky.Cumulonimbus clouds mean a storm or thunderstorm is coming. When cumulonimbus clouds form together in an organized system, the chance of severe weather increases. The top of these clouds are called cumulus congestus or towering cumulus. These are the awe-inspiring and ominous clouds mainly observed during the summer months and can be indicative of developing thunderstorms, including lightning, hail, heavy rain and even tornadoes. Cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds are both known as vertical clouds. Cumulonimbus (from Latin cumulus, "heaped" and nimbus, "rainstorm") is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. Typically, turbulence within the cumulonimbus cloud will cause mammatus to form, especially on the underside of the projecting anvil as it rapidly descends to lower levels. Cumulonimbus Clouds Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds. Because cirrus clouds are made of ice crystals, they look different than your typical puffy cloud shape, and can take on a number of different forms that resemble spider webs, fish skeletons, mares’ tail, or hair-like commas. Formation of Clouds Clouds are formed when air containing water vapor is cooled below a critical temperature called the dew point and the resulting moisture condenses into droplets on They are distinguished by density, vertical development, heavy rainfall with thunder, hail. They can be collected in a long line - a line of squalls. The clouds are classified as rising cloud types. Cumulus clouds, white and fluffy, are good-weather clouds. Cumulus clouds are also called fair weather clouds and look like floating cotton. Vertical Clouds: These are clouds that extend from the lower to the higher altitudes of the atmosphere. Often, high winds flatten out the tops of cumulonimbus clouds, giving these multi-layered clouds a distinct anvil appearance. They usually mean good weather unless they grow really tall and turn into cumulonimbus clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds are heavy and massive. 9. (Figure 3): Types of clouds; Cumulonimbus cloud. CUMULONIMBUS Low Altitude Detached, fluffy clouds with clearly defined edges. The clouds form at around 3000 metres using convective updrafts, they rise to greater heights of about 12000 metres. Cumulonimbus clouds are also called thunderheads. Clouds of Great Vertical Extent include various forms of cumulus congestus and cumulonimbus. The ice crystals sublimate, or change from ice to water vapor as they fall, causing the surrounding air to thermodynamically cool. The often come with the chance of thunderstorms or hail Feb 3, 2021 - Explore Vetha's board "Cumulonimbus cloud" on Pinterest. Cumulonimbus clouds. Nimbus Clouds. 'Mammatus clouds are usually formed in association with large cumulonimbus clouds,' according to the Met Office. Do You Know? For you meteorologists out there, is it still considered ‘hail’ if ice falls straight from the ‘NON-cumulonimbus clouds,’ such as stratus, stratocumulus, or nimbostratus clouds? Thunderstorms are cumulonimbus clouds that produce thunder and lightning. When cumulonimbus clouds form together in an organized system, the chance of severe weather increases. The greatest occurrence of thunderstorms occur in the southeastern United States, with … Cumulus clouds grow upward which is why they are clouds of vertical development. The cumulonimbus flammagenitus cloud (CbFg), also known as the pyrocumulonimbus cloud (pyroCb), is a high anvil-like intense cloud system rapidly formed by wildfires or volcanic eruptions. Anvil clouds are the wispy looking clouds that develop on the upper portion of a cumulonimbus cloud. Meteorologists have studied how cumulonimbus clouds are formed and how they produce rain, hail, and lightning. Several types of clouds form in this way including cumulus, cumulonimbus, mammatus, and stratocumulus clouds. The formation of contrails is similar to the mixing fog. Pyrocumulus clouds take their name from the Latin word Pyro which means “fire” and the word cumulus which means “pile up.” Some of these cumulus clouds can form together to form Cumulonimbus clouds(see page for more details on Cumulonimbus). Fronts occur when two large masses of air collide at the Earth's surface.. They are formed when rising air cools to its dew point, at which the air becomes saturated. 08. Additionally, how clouds are formed short answer? The development of convective clouds into cumulus congestus or cumulonimbus clouds that produce heavy rain is often hindered by one or more stable layers, or lids (Browning et al., 2007). Of the non-stratiform clouds, cumulonimbus and cumulus congestus are the most closely related to nimbostratus because of their vertical extent and ability to produce moderate to heavy precipitation. Clouds Cumulonimbus cloud tops are usually always flattened in the shape of an anvil or plume. Cumulus - Cumulus clouds are low to mid-level clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds are one of the most recognisable cloud types, characterised by […] Cumulonimbus clouds are known for bringing severe weather including high winds, hail, and thunderstorms. the sky and can reach . cumulonimbus: see cloud cloud, aggregation of minute particles of water or ice suspended in the air. Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds. The formation of contrails is similar to the mixing fog. Cumulonimbus (Cb) Cumulonimbus clouds are created when a cumulus congestus cloud continues to grow higher into the atmosphere. In some cases, these clouds are precursors of other cloud types. Which of the following is an example of a cloud of vertical development? Low-level Clouds. The thin wispy clouds that can be seen in the sky are the Cirrus clouds. Cumulus clouds are non-precipitating but can develop into the towering cumulonimbus clouds which produce heavy downpours and strong winds. Cumulonimbus clouds (Cb) are much larger and more vertically developed than fair weather cumulus. ... Cumulonimbus clouds … Cumulonimbus Clouds by roprik 100 43 MIDDEL - Guisveld Natura 2000. The pouches are created when cold air within the cloud sinks down toward the Earth. Sometimes they develop into cumulonimbus clouds. They form by thermal convection or frontal lifting, sustained by the powerful convectional current that holds and push the moisture in the clouds further upward. At subzero temperatures, the droplets are supercooled. Cumulonimbus are generally known as thunderstorm clouds. If you see a green cloud it is highly likely that a severe thunderstorm with hail and/or tornadoes is approaching. These clouds are mainly formed through convection, when the air is heated from the surface below, causing it to rise and condense into droplets. Clouds are formed from water vapor that . Cumulonimbus Clouds. But on the planet Saturn, clouds are composed of droplets of liquid methane. answer choices . But on the planet Saturn, clouds are composed of droplets of liquid methane. Pyrocumulus and Pyrocumulonimbus – cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds formed by quickly generated ground heat; including forest fires, volcanic eruptions and low level nuclear detonation. ... Cumulonimbus clouds can . Contrails. Origin. High winds can flatten the top of the cloud into an anvil-like shape. Determining the mechanism or mechanisms responsible for the convection breaking through the lid was one of the main goals of the CSIP. Pyrocumulus clouds can produce rain and extinguish the fire that created it or produce lightning and start another fire. Cumulonimbus cloud (also known as thunderclouds) are formed in (A) Troposphere (B) Stratosphere (C) Mesosphere (D) Thermosphere. These clouds are known to produce powerful weather effects such as storms. Cirrus clouds have a distinct look relative to the other nine cloud types. Mammatus clouds are usually associated with severe weather. Halo (optical phenomenon) – In the form of rings, arcs, pillars, or bright spots, produced by the refraction or reflection of light by ice crystals suspended in the atmosphere (cirriform clouds, diamond dust, etc.) Accepted as a WMO genitus cloud with the Latin name flammagenitus , or homogenitus in the case of small cumulus formed by contained human activity. These clouds consist of cumulus, stratus and cumulonimbus. Cumulonimbus If updrafts become stronger, those seemingly innocuous cumulus clouds may grow taller into what we call cumulonimbus clouds. Weather prediction: Severe weather might be on its way! How to distinguish cumulus, Altocumulus and Cirrocumulus clouds in the sky? Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing, but the water, in a supercooled state, has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation.When ice crystals do form, a domino effect is set off due to the Bergeron process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud. Hail: Hail is a showery precipitation in the form of irregular pellets or balls of ice more than 5mm in diameter, falling from a cumulonimbus cloud.Hailstones are formed when updrafts carry raindrops up into the highest parts of the cloud and the super-cooled liquid droplets collide. Normal cumulus clouds form because the sun’s rays heat the ground, forming warm air that rises because it is less dense than the cooler air above. Fog Fog is a cloud on the ground. Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds.They develop from convection — the transport of heat and moisture upward into the atmosphere. On Earth, clouds are formed as a result of saturation of the air when it is cooled to its dew point, or when it gains sufficient moisture (usually in the form of water vapor) from an adjacent source to raise the dew point to the ambient temperature. The development of these clouds ranges from fair-weather (or cumulus) to giant (or cumulonimbus). The top may be 15,000 feet above the base. In 1896, the first edition of the International Cloud Atlas listed the cumulonimbus as number nine in the tallest cloud formations file. Weather prediction: Severe weather might be on its way! Cumulonimbus … They form at middle levels or very near to the surface of the earth. These clouds are characterized by very strong updrafts, … They have a great growth upwards. Before Formation - Formation - The "anvil-top shape" in a super cell is created as clouds reach the tropopause. A new study looks at how they form and how this changes scientists' view of these clouds’ role in the world's climate. The Cumulus Stage. The following summarizes what pyroculus clouds are and how they are formed. Foggy Clouds: Clouds formed by the cooling of a stable layer are stratus meaning stratified or layered; they are characterized by their uniform, sheet-like appearance. Cumulonimbus clouds can be seen most commonly during the afternoons of summer and spring months when the Earth’s surface releases heat. They are formed by sinking cold air that form pouch-like figures as they’re carried into a warmer layer of air, contrary to the puffs of clouds rising through the convection of warm air. Clouds that produce rain and snow fall into this category. Cumulonimbus clouds are high and dense, which are formed by instability in the atmosphere. Mostly composed of water droplets but may also contain ice particles and snow. Like most clouds found in the earth’s atmosphere, nimbostratus clouds are comprised of small, condensed droplets of water or ice crystals. Type 3 (cumulonimbus [CB] whose tops are not fibrous or in the form of an anvil): Cumulonimbus (CB) clouds are very large, tall, billowing cumulus clouds, sometimes referred to as thunderheads. From a distance, clouds might look like cotton wool but they are actually made from water. Anvils can dominate the sky and warn of impending danger just as easily as they can act like a textured canvas on which the sunset paints its beautiful oranges and red. Cumulonimbus Clouds: reaching high into the atmosphere. Low-Level Clouds. condenses then clusters together in droplets. Cumulonimbus are noted as storm clouds. Cumulus and Cumulonimbus Clouds. As a matter of fact, these clouds grow upwards towards the atmosphere and can quickly develop into thunderstorm clouds (or cumulonimbus clouds). Another way that mountains cause cloud formation is when air rises because the mountain is warmer than the surrounding air and causes the air to rise. The cumulonimbus base may extend several miles across and occupy low to middle altitudes- formed at altitude from approximately 500 to 13,000 feet (150 to 3,960 meters). This society formed by the Faculty of Geology and Geoenvironment which is a part of the School of Sciences of the … Meteorologists have studied how cumulonimbus clouds are formed and how they produce rain, hail, and lightning. Cumulonimbus (from Latin cumulus, "heaped" and nimbus, "rainstorm") is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. They are big, white, puffy, and beautiful clouds. These low-level clouds are full of moisture. 60 seconds . Cloud composition. First, we’ll learn about some basic convective clouds known as cumulus clouds , and then we’ll learn about cumulonimbus clouds … They resemble the cumulus clouds from which they grow, except they rise into towers with bulging upper portions that look like cauliflower. CUMULONIMBUS clouds are the massive, towering thunderheads so common in the summer. The bases of these clouds are flat and gray, while the top forms brilliant white bulges that can look like cauliflower. See more ideas about beautiful nature, amazing nature, clouds. Lenticular Clouds Lenticular clouds are caused by a wave wind pattern created by the mountains. They resemble the cumulus clouds from which they grow, except they rise into towers with bulging upper portions that look like cauliflower. These clouds are generally formed either due to loss of heat or the mixing of air masses with different temperatures. windy weather. Any cloud which produces precipitation (like rain, sleet, and snow) are referred to as nimbus clouds, with cumulonimbus clouds and nimbostratus clouds being among the most common of the clouds which produce precipitation. Nimbostratus clouds bring continuous precipitation that can last for many hours. Victoria Blackburn Date: February 12, 2021 Nimbostratus clouds are associated with rain and oncoming storms.. Nimbostratus clouds are low-level clouds that are formed between the earth’s surface and an altitude of 6,500 feet (1,980 m). Stratocumulus Credit: Pixabay, saragib Cumulonimbus clouds are one of the few clouds that span the low, middle, and high layers. Cumulus clouds can be formed from water vapour, supercooled water droplets, or ice crystals, depending upon the ambient temperature. The cumulus cloud has a pronounced shape, large size. rainy weather. The cumulus clouds can often be found as low as 3,000 feet and as high as 6,000 feet above the surface of the Earth, which is pretty low compared to cirrus clouds. 10. If you see a green cloud it is highly likely that a severe thunderstorm with hail and/or tornadoes is approaching. The base is horizontal and the upper layers are spread out; this gives the typical anvil shape. Convective clouds are clouds that are formed by convection, which is simply the process of warmer air rising since it is less dense than the surrounding atmosphere. These types of clouds usually form in tropical areas, where these elements are more commonly found together, but blizzards are another form of precipitation caused by cumulonimbus clouds. With these categories, we can recognize clouds. Weather fronts can cause clouds to form. These vertical winds can reach speeds over 176 kilometers (110 miles) per hour. Cumulonimbus clouds are thunderstorm clouds. Cumulonimbus clouds are also associated with precipitations, at times in the form of virga, and can produce tornadoes and hail. ("Nimbus" comes from the Latin word for "rain.") When you see mammatus clouds, severe thunderstorms can be nearby. Mammatus clouds are actually altocumulus, cirrus, cumulonimbus, or other types of clouds that have these pouch-like shapes hanging out of the bottom. When the puffy, fair-weather cumulus clouds come together, they combine and begin to build upward. Type 3 (cumulonimbus [CB] whose tops are not fibrous or in the form of an anvil): Cumulonimbus (CB) clouds are very large, tall, billowing cumulus clouds, sometimes referred to as thunderheads. The cumulonimbus cloud is formed by water vapour that air currents carry upwards, and these clouds can produce dangerous lightning and severe tornadoes. Further cooling allows water vapour to condense into cloud droplets. 17. Clouds are the result of condensation of water vapor. Vertical development clouds straddle several levels. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with strong to even severe weather ranging from heavy rain to strong updrafts and downdrafts to tornados. Clouds are formed when there is a lot of surface heating from the sun and a lot of moisture is present. With cumulonimbus clouds, expect heavy snow, rain, lightning, hail and sometimes tornadoes. A little bit of the wild west visited the south when this cumulonimbus cowboy-looking cloud formed. The cumulonimbus or cumulonimbus clouds are highly vertical, internally formed by a column of warm, moist air that rises in a rotating spiral. The anvil usually points in the direction the storm is moving. Cumulonimbus clouds also produce hail and tornadoes. They are formed of water droplets rather than ice crystals. Cumulonimbus clouds are one of the few clouds that span the low, middle, and high layers. Cirrus clouds are the wispy clouds that form at high altitudes. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with heavy rain, snow, hail, lightning and even tornadoes.
