A team of researchers have analyzed the impact of different cloud types on solar irradiance predictions. They found prediction models that factor in the physics of how clouds interact with sunlight ...

Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds are a type of formation, not type of clouds on their own. They tend to appear on these five cloud types: cirrus, altocumulus, cumulus, stratus, and stratocumulus.

Curious about whether the clouds you see mean sunny skies, roaring storms or a stunning sunset? Here’s your guide to the ...
