Description
When you look up at the sky on a summer day, do you see a duck, a bunny, or a fair weather cumulus cloud? This presentation is all about clouds — how they develop, what they are made of, the distinguishing characteristics of different types of clouds, and what they may tell us about the weather. Compare the structure of clouds using both surface observations and satellite imagery.
