During the day, cirrus cloud cover drops, and during the night, it increases. [14] Based on CALIPSO satellite data, cirrus covers an average of 31% to 32% of the Earth's surface. [15] Cirrus cloud cover varies wildly by location, with some parts of the tropics reaching up to 70% cirrus cloud cover.
Cirrostratus / ˌ s ɪr oʊ ˈ s t r ɑː t ə s / is a high-altitude, very thin, generally uniform stratiform genus-type of cloud. It is made out of ice-crystals, which are pieces of frozen water. It is difficult to detect and it can make halos. These are made when the cloud takes the form of thin cirrostratus nebulosus. [1]
The cloud sponge is found in the northern Pacific Ocean. Its range includes Japan, Siberia, the Aleutian Islands and the west coast of North America from Alaska southwards to California and Mexico. [1] It is a reef-building species found in deep waters on the western Canadian shelf growing on sediment-free rocks.

A cube texture indexes six texture maps from 0 to 5 in order Positive X, Negative X, Positive Y, Negative Y, Positive Z, Negative Z. [5] [6] The images are stored with the origin at the lower left of the image. The Positive X and Y faces must reverse the Z coordinate and the Negative Z face must negate the X coordinate.
