Sentences with phrase «into cumulus clouds»

At Mary Boone you exhibited three works; the smaller room held two pristine examples of past work: Bridal Supernova (2006), one of the Exploding Couture series, which looks at first glance like a lotus blossom transforming into a cumulus cloud, and Portable CatFight (2007), which encloses two cats, strung out from actual skeletons, that circle each other in mid-air with claws and fangs bared.

Not exact matches

In the baseline simulations, cumulus convection arose an hour into the exercise and generated clouds that very much resembled in appearance at least those photographed during INDOEX.
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).
Tara Donovan creates an cumulus cloud out of Styrofoam cups; Teresita Fernández cuts soft, moss - like patterns into sharp metal; Barbara Gallucci conflates garden furniture with the nearby hedge, each moulding the landscape to their own experiences.
Layered above our humid cumulus clouds that don't turn into rain.
And cumulus clouds not only reflect solar radiation back into space but also produce rain.
«The authors demonstrate that model estimates of climate sensitivity can be strongly affected by the manner through which cumulus cloud condensate is converted into precipitation in a model's convection parameterization, processes that are only crudely accounted for in GCMs.
The physical model I have in mind for this negative WV feedback is based on a proposal of Prof. William Gray (Colorado State University), who pictured cumulus clouds carrying moisture into the UT, but occupying only a small area; the remaining (and much larger) area experiences descending air («subsidence»)-- hence drying.
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).
The observations showed that when the usual shallow cumulus clouds give way to the MJO's towering cumulonimbus storms, radiant heat trapped by clouds and moisture gradually warms a deeper column of the lower atmosphere while the tops of the storms radiate heat into space, cooling the upper troposphere.
As to the effect mentioned in your comment, as I understand it, cumulus clouds reflect infrared radiation back into space while cirrus clouds catch infrared radiation leaving earth and reflect it back to earth.
[Technically speaking, it is caused by increased convective activity whereby cumulus clouds carry latent heat from the surface of the tropical ocean into the upper troposphere.
Do as I did and go outside to observe slow moving cumulus clouds as they prepare to rain — they get much darker underneath because less light gets into the top!
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.
