Nimbostratus clouds are defined as thick, stable clouds associated with organized storms that produce robust precipitation, typically characterized by widespread lifting in fronts and tropical cyclones. They …

Oct 15, 2024 · The present study illustrates the microphysical parameters of nimbostratus clouds during the Indian summer monsoon using airborne and radar observatio…

Jan 1, 2002 · Thus, our goal was to explore nimbostratus clouds with the improved detail made possible by the airborne cloud radar, and to thereby gain some additional insights into the relationship …

Stratiform precipitation falls from nimbostratus clouds, while convective precipitation falls from active cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds. These cloud types may occur separately or entangled with each …

This chapter summarizes measurements of the physical and microphysical structures of stratus, stratocumulus, altostratus, and cirrus clouds, which are…

Jan 1, 1993 · Stratiform precipitation falls from nimbostratus clouds, while convective precipitation falls from cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds. There are two major ways in which convective and …

This chapter identifies and describes the different types of clouds that occur in Earth’s atmosphere. Traditional observation of clouds by a ground ob…

Jan 1, 1993 · Chapter 6 Nimbostratus "Now downwards by the world's attraction driven, That tends to earth, which had upris'n to heaven;"!" The shallow-layer clouds, which we considered in Chapter 5, …

Sep 1, 2018 · Introduction Nimbostratus (Ns) and Stratus (St) are cloud genera described as stratiform, i.e. in the form of broad cloud sheets characterised by little vertical motion – contrary to cumuliform …

Cumulonimbus clouds are defined as convective cloud systems that produce rainfall and lightning, often accompanied by severe weather phenomena such as large hail, strong wind gusts, and tornadoes. …
