  1. 👏 Congratulations to Hairu Ding on successfully defending her PhD! 🎓

    In her thesis, "Factors influencing subtropical stratocumulus: from a large-scale thermodynamic to a dynamical perspective," Hairu investigated the large-scale drivers of #stratocumulus cloud variability, discovering that these clouds are primarily influenced by atmospheric waves! 📚 Learn more: acp.copernicus.org/articles/25

    We’re excited to see what Hairu accomplishes next & wish her all the best! ✨

  3. ❗ Model Reveals Hidden Warming Layer Above Stratocumulus Clouds❗

    Understanding #stratocumulus #clouds is key to predicting #ClimateSensitivity. MPI-M scientist Kenneth Chan and his colleagues discovered a previously unresolved "W-Layer," a thin (just 5 meters!) warming layer above stratocumulus cloud tops. ⛅ It was previously unknown because it is too thin for most simulations to resolve! Their discovery reveals a blind spot in current stratocumulus simulations. 🔍

  5. ☁️ Habt ihr euch beim Blick in den Himmel schon einmal gefragt: Was sind das eigentlich für #Wolken? Dann könnte unser #Wolkenposter etwas für euch sein: 🔗 dwd.de/DE/leistungen/jahresber
    Auf diesem Bild seht ihr übrigens eine Schicht-Haufenwolke #Stratocumulus mit vereinzeltem Übergang zu Cumulus congestus mit teils wellenförmiger (undulatus) Basis, wie unser Wolkenexperte im Team uns erklärt hat, dem die Aufnahme heute früh gelungen ist...

    #Wolken sind nicht nur hübsch, sie sind ein entscheidender Faktor für unser #Klima.

    Mal kühlen sie die Erde, mal halten sie sie warm. Doch was passiert, wenn eine bestimmte Art von Wolken plötzlich verschwinden würde? Der #Klimawandel könnte das bewirken. Forschende untersuchen diese Möglichkeit. Sie wollen das Risiko für uns besser verstehen.

  9. From soft #cumulus drifting over the Caribbean to towering cumulus #congestus and layered #stratocumulus, Tobago’s skies are as dynamic as its reefs. A closer look at cloud-watching in the Southern Caribbean

  10. Virtually no solar production today makes this the dullest day since 20th February!
    This dismal cloudy high reminds me of last autumn and winter. I hope this isn’t a taste of things to come…

  12. Äskön kotiin palatessani huomasin, että tyypillisesti tylsän harmaa Stratocumulus stratiformis (Kumpukerrospilvi, kerrosmainen) olikin ottanut yllättäen vähän muunnoksen lacunosus (~kennomainen) näköä pintaan. Voisi siinä tulkita olevan myös hieman lisäosan asperitas (~tyrskyinen) piirteitä, mutta siitä en ole niin varma.

  13. Le ciel de se recouvre de cet après-midi. La parenthèse de beau temps ouverte jeudi se referme ce soir. Ce mois a été déficitaire avec 47 heures de contre 70 heures en moyenne dans la capitale pour novembre.

  14. An "oldie" (2019 paper) but a real baddie - the danger of #clouds, particularly #stratocumulus clouds in the #subtropics, disappearing (!), is real, and really frightening. According to the most accurate (and afaik only) modeling done about this, if #CO2 reaches 1200 ppm - which it is predicted to do by mainstream #climate models in 100 years - a #TippingPoint will be crossed, stratocumulus clouds will disappear, and average #temperatures will rise by 10C in the subtropics and 8C in the #tropics. In other words, #Earth, as a livable planet for most species. will be done and dusted.

    Here is a link to the original journal article in Nature Geoscience, "Possible #climate transitions from breakup of stratocumulus decks under #greenhouse #warming", 25 Feb 2019, by T. Schneider, C.M. Kaul, and K.G. Pressel nature.com/articles/s41561-019

  18. The #stratocumulus causing the anticyclonic gloom is finally beginning to break up as Arctic air floods south across the British Isles. It won’t get as far south as previously modelled, stalling over the English Channel as mild moist air pushes in from the south. This could cause headaches with #uksnow prediction on Tuesday. #weather #ukweather #meteorolgy

  20. A duvet of #stratocumulus (Sc) has moved in overnight, increasing the temperature from -2.6°C at 8.30pm yesterday to +2.1°C this morning. This often happens under high pressure systems in winter. #anticyclonicgloom #Dorset #weather #UKWeather #meteorology

  22. Fascinating evidence shows that as a result of #GlobalWarming, #cirrus #clouds will increase in height and enhance the warming effect, whilst lower #stratocumulus #cloud (which normally cools the planet) will dissipate, causing further warming.
    There is also evidence that decreasing #pollution will reduce the aerosols needed for stratocumulus to form, enhancing warming even further.

  24. Vavavavavavavavava, que vienen las #Nubes. Hoy, estratocúmulos, las nubes bajas granuladas.

    #Stratocumulus

    Repito: no soy un experto, acabo de empezar a aprender a reconocer nubes, seguramente me equivoque reconociendo algunas, pero para eso precisamente lo hago. Si sabes de nubes y crees que me he equivocado, avísame, por favor. =)
