Exempel på stratocumulus

• The laboratory results may be related to the behaviour of marine stratocumulus clouds.

• The stability of stratocumulus clouds with strong evaporative cooling effects is explored in laboratory simulations.

• Drizzle is normally produced by low stratiform clouds and stratocumulus clouds.

• Like all other forms of stratocumulus apart from castellanus, they are also often found in anticyclones.

• This often does not apply when stratocumulus is of a broken, fractus form, when it may appear as small as altocumulus.

• Stratocumulus castellanus may develop into cumulus congestus (and even further into cumulonimbus) under auspicious conditions.

• They are distinct from other stratocumulus by puffy tower-like formations atop the cloud layer.

• The low, sharp temperature inversion can lead to areas of persistent stratocumulus or stratus cloud, known in colloquial terms as anticyclonic gloom.

• Vast areas of subtropical and polar oceans are covered with massive sheets of stratocumulus.

• This can create the illusion of continuous precipitation of more than very light intensity falling from stratocumulus.

• Stratocumulus clouds are the main type of cloud that can produce crepuscular rays.

• The levels of albedo present in the low-level marine stratocumulus clouds create a significant global cooling effect.

• The two genera that are strictly low-tage are stratus, and stratocumulus.

• The low, sharp inversion can lead to areas of persistent stratocumulus or stratus cloud, colloquially known as anticyclonic gloom.

• Additionally, stratocumulus clouds reflect a large amount of the incoming sunlight, producing a net cooling effect.
