What types of clouds are there?
Classification of clouds Clouds are tiny water droplets, supercooled water droplets, ice crystals and snow crystals formed by condensation and sublimation of water vapor in the atmosphere. They are single or mixed, with different shapes, floating in the sky. The formation, macroscopic characteristics, quantity, distribution and evolution of clouds in the sky can show the atmospheric movement, stability and water vapor status at that time, and it is also one of the main signs to predict the future weather evolution. It is an important factor to objectively observe and analyze the macro evolution of clouds and describe the weather situation. The macro characteristics of clouds are various, and the physical processes of their formation are slightly different, but they all have the same characteristics. According to its characteristics and the needs of observation and weather forecast, meteorologists divide clouds into three levels: low, medium and high according to the height from the bottom of clouds to the ground, and then divide them into ten genera and twenty-nine categories according to their macroscopic characteristics, physical structure and causes.
