the cloud IR emissivity, with values between 0 and 1, with a global average around 0.7; the effective cloud amount, the cloud amount weighted by the cloud IR emissivity, with a global average of 0.5; the cloud (visible) optical depth varies within a range of 4 and 10. the cloud water path for the liquid and solid (ice) phases of the cloud particles
Under dry, cloud-free conditions, water vapor in atmosphere contributes 67% of the greenhouse effect on Earth. When there is enough moisture to form typical cloud cover, the greenhouse effect from "free" water vapor goes down to 50%, but water vapor which is now inside the clouds amounts to 25%, and the net greenhouse effect is at 75%.

Overlapping clouds (in meteorology, probably duplicatus clouds) are thought to imply eternal happiness [170] and clouds of different colors are said to indicate "multiplied blessings". [ 170 ] Informal cloud watching or cloud gazing is a popular activity involving watching the clouds and looking for shapes in them, a form of pareidolia .
September 19, 2023: Cumulonimbus clouds rise behind wind turbines in Big Spring, Texas. Towering, dense clouds with a flat, anvil-shaped top. Develops from cumulus clouds and can reach great ...
Clouds that have low densities, such as cirrus clouds, contain very little water, thus resulting in relatively low liquid water content values of around .03 g/m 3.Clouds that have high densities, like cumulonimbus clouds, have much higher liquid water content values that are around 1-3 g/m 3, as more liquid is present in the same amount of space.
There's a growing likelihood that clouds will steal the show of the rare solar eclipse in Austin-San Antonio and Dallas-Fort Worth on Monday.. As of Wednesday morning, the weather forecasts ...
Attached to many wall clouds, especially in moist environments, is a cauda [1] (tail cloud), a tail-like band of cloud extending from the wall cloud toward the precipitation core. [6] It can be thought of as an extension of the wall cloud in that the tail cloud is connected to the wall cloud and condensation forms for a similar reason.
