Sentences with phrase «form cumulus clouds»

Here Becker et al. investigated the impact of convective organization on entrainment — a process in which warm, buoyant parcels of air become saturated with moisture; form cumulus clouds; and mix with cooler, drier parcels of air.

Not exact matches

As the blaze burns, it generates updrafts that cool and condense, forming fluffy cumulus clouds.

At this point, either the clouds can dissipate into a popcorn - like formation — which is called unaggregated convection — or other cumulus clouds in the vicinity will pile onto them, forming a larger cloud cluster (aggregated convection).

When the CLIMAP data proved to be wrong, and was replaced by more reliable estimates showing a substantial tropical surface temperature drop, Lindzen had to abandon his then - current model and move on to other forms of mischief (first the «cumulus drying» negative water vapor feedback mechanism, since abandoned, and now the «Iris» effect cloud feedback mechanism).

Tomás Saraceno's Trace G64 B213 and Cumulus Filaments similarly navigate forms inspired by nature, such as clouds and spider webs, to imagine new spatial relationships, architectures and modes of perception.

A gathering of black plastic rulers form a cloud on the verge of saturation, right before the Cumulus ruptures and it starts to rain.

As a Cumulus cloud constantly verges on collapse, Marx's subjects border between form and formlessness, always rich in associative and connotative density.

Cumul, as in, cumulus, is a reference to the forms of rounded clouds.

Once activated, the instability shown in the Köhler curve implies that the condensational growth takes over and the newly formed cloud droplet quickly reaches the size of few microns, as the ones we find in shallow cumuli.

When the CLIMAP data proved to be wrong, and was replaced by more reliable estimates showing a substantial tropical surface temperature drop, Lindzen had to abandon his then - current model and move on to other forms of mischief (first the «cumulus drying» negative water vapor feedback mechanism, since abandoned, and now the «Iris» effect cloud feedback mechanism).

In UP, the cloud - resolving arrays have been upgraded to include sufficient internal resolution to explicitly generate the turbulent eddies that form marine stratocumulus and trade cumulus clouds.

At this point, either the clouds can dissipate into a popcorn - like formation — which is called unaggregated convection — or other cumulus clouds in the vicinity will pile onto them, forming a larger cloud cluster (aggregated convection).

Cirrus clouds — high - altitude clouds of ice crystals — typically form as a byproduct of the life cycle of cumulus towers created by rising updrafts of heated, moist air.

When there is a reduction in tropical temperature for any reason, not just volcanoes, cumulus clouds form later, say at noon instead of their usual 11:00.

As these cumulus convective clouds grow taller, cloud water droplets collide and combine into raindrops and fall out of the cloud or continue to rise until they freeze into ice crystals and form cirrus clouds.
