#Stratocumulus Cloud Layer

Nubes Mammatus vistas en Reino Unido. Las nubes Mammatus (o mastodónticas) son formaciones nubosas únicas con bolsas o protuberancias que cuelgan de la base de otras nubes, especialmente cumulonimbos, pareciendo mamas o ubres, y se forman por aire frío descendente y denso, a menudo tras una tormenta severa, aunque no siempre son un presagio directo de tornado, sino un subproducto del aire turbulento, y se ven espectaculares al atardecer. #cienciainfinita #science #Ciencia #nature #naturelovers

A quick guide to cloud types and classifications — learn how to read the sky and spot the difference between fair weather and storms. How good are you at identifying clouds?

Cloud Guide! Forget standard meteorological charts! We’re breaking down the sky, piece by piece, to help you stay ahead of the weather. As a pilot, reading these clouds is like reading the road. Check out this visual breakdown from Low to High: 1️⃣ The "No-Go" Blocks (Avoid!): Keep a safe distance from Cumulonimbus (Cb)—they aren't just fluffy, they're the ultimate sky monsters, bringing lightning and severe turbulence! ⚠️ And Nimbostratus (Ns)? That's your cue for a rain-soaked flight cancellation. 2️⃣ The "Climb" Bricks: Classic Cumulus (Cu) are your friends! They often signal active thermals. Altocumulus (Ac)? They might look like small puzzle pieces, but they are great indicators of mid-level instability. 3️⃣ The "High-Altitude" Signs: Cirrus (Ci) and Cirrostratus (Cs) look like smooth plastic sheets, but they can be early warning signs that a front is moving in. Mastering this knowledge keeps your flights safe and strategic. Save this post for your next pre-flight check! Which of these do you least like seeing on launch day?

polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) also known as nacreous clouds, form in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15 to 25 kilometers. they occur at extremely low temperatures, around -78°C or colder. unlike typical clouds, PSCs are composed of ice crystals and supercooled droplets of nitric acid and water. these clouds play a critical role in the depletion of the ozone layer by providing a surface for chemical reactions that release chlorine and bromine compounds, which destroy ozone molecules. PSCs are also known for their iridescent, colorful appearance when illuminated by sunlight. #polarstratosphericclouds #natural #phenomenon #explorepage #reels #fyp #coolfinds #didyouknow #clouds

Today is Cloud Appreciation Day, and we can't get enough of these stunning, rare nacreous clouds.⁣ ⁣ These iridescent formations, sometimes also called "stratospheric clouds" or "mother-of-pearl" clouds, are rarely seen and often appear in polar regions during cold conditions.

Insane outbreak of rare rainbow nacreous clouds (polar stratospheric clouds) that illuminated the whole sky in Kilpisjarvi yesterday! Yes the colors are real and as saturated with the unaided eye! 🤩🤩🤩

What do you think these clouds look like? Let me know in the comments! 🙏🏼😊 Sometimes the sky feels like it’s from another planet. ☁️✨ These rare formations are called “Mammatus clouds.” It looks like giant cotton balls hanging from the sky, doesn’t it? Feeling so lucky to witness this masterpiece of nature! Video @mrljerome and @rachelfell_ Thank you 🙏🏼😊 . . . #mammatus #naturelovers #skyview #clouds #viralreels
