English: Calm equatorial tropical thunderstorm clouds over the Lombok Strait, Gili Islands, Sunda Islands, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia in the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ). The area can be roughly considered a divide between the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
The cloud cover is correlated to the sunshine duration as the least cloudy locales are the sunniest ones while the cloudiest areas are the least sunny places, as clouds can block sunlight, especially at sunrise and sunset where sunlight is already limited. Partial cloud cover over the North Atlantic Ocean. Complete cloud coverage over France
More and more water accumulates on the seed until a visible cloud is formed. In the case of ship tracks, the cloud seeds are stretched over a long narrow path where the wind has blown the ship's exhaust, so the resulting clouds resemble long strings over the ocean. [2] Ship tracks are a type of homogenitus cloud. [3]
Clouds form when the dew point temperature of water is reached in the presence of condensation nuclei in the troposphere. The atmosphere is a dynamic system, and the local conditions of turbulence, uplift, and other parameters give rise to many types of clouds. Various types of cloud occur frequently enough to have been categorized.
The ocean as a whole is thought to cover approximately 90% of the Earth's biosphere. [60] Oceanic evaporation, as a phase of the water cycle, is the source of most rainfall (about 90%), [68] causing a global cloud cover of 67% and a consistent oceanic cloud cover of 72%. [69] Ocean temperatures affect climate and wind patterns that affect life ...
A sea of clouds is an overcast layer of stratocumulus clouds, as viewed from above, with a relatively uniform top which shows undulations of very different lengths resembling waves on the sea. [1] A sea of fog is formed from stratus clouds or fog and does not show undulations. [2] In both cases, the phenomenon looks very similar to the open ocean.
