if air near the surface becomes extremely warm and unstable, its upward motion can become quite explosive, resulting in towering cumulonimbiform clouds that can cause severe weather. as tiny water particles that make up the cloud group together to form droplets of rain, they are pulled down to earth by the force of gra...

another agent is the buoyant convective upward motion
another agent is the buoyant convective upward motion caused by significant daytime solar heating at surface level, or by relatively high absolute humidity. incoming short-wave radiation generated by the sun is re-emitted as long-wave radiation when it reaches earth's surface. this process warms the air closest to grou...

frontal and cyclonic lift occur in their purest
frontal and cyclonic lift occur in their purest manifestations when stable air, which has been subjected to little or no surface heating, is forced aloft at weather fronts and around centers of low pressure. warm fronts associated with extratropical cyclones tend to generate mostly cirriform and stratiform clouds over ...

for non-convective cloud, the altitude at which condensation
for non-convective cloud, the altitude at which condensation begins to happen is called the lifted condensation level (lcl), which roughly determines the height of the cloud base. free convective clouds generally form at the altitude of the convective condensation level (ccl). water vapor in saturated air is normally a...

this process occurs when one or more of three possible lifting agents—cyclonic/frontal, convective, or orographic —causes air containing invisible water vapor to rise and cool to its dew point, the temperature at which the air becomes saturated. the main mechanism behind this process is adiabatic cooling. atmospheric p...

as water evaporates from an area of earth's
as water evaporates from an area of earth's surface, the air over that area becomes moist. moist air is lighter than the surrounding dry air, creating an unstable situation. when enough moist air has accumulated, all the moist air rises as a single packet, without mixing with the surrounding air. as more moist air form...

the modern cloud physics began in the 19th century and was described in several publications. otto von guericke originated the idea that clouds were composed of water bubbles. in 1847 augustus waller used spider web to examine droplets under the microscope. these observations were confirmed by william henry dines in 18...

in warm clouds, larger cloud droplets fall at a higher terminal velocity; because at a given velocity, the drag force per unit of droplet weight on smaller droplets is larger than on large droplets. the large droplets can then collide with small droplets and combine to form even larger drops. when the drops become larg...
