liquid condensation on a surface; common during
Dew cold, calm nights; long wave cooling of air to dew
point
similar to dew but from deposition rather than
Frost
condensation; (vapor to ice)
Frozen Dew black ice, dew that is then frozen
forms at a relative humidity <100%; when aerosols are
Haze gyroscopic; reduction of visibility; water seeking
particles that enhance condensation
cloud at ground level; (smog= smoke+fog)
Fog
Formed by cooling, evaporation, and mixing
warm, moist, air moves over cold surface; winds
Advection Fog
slightly stronger so deeper fog layer; can see it roll in
Upslope Fog cooling of air as it moves upslope

cold air over warm water; water evaporates into
cooler air above it; the ending of fog occurs with
Evaporation Fog
enhanced wind or sun penetrating fog and warming
ground
Ground fog
Clear nights
long wave radiation cooling at night (like dew) but
Radiation Fog
light wind mixes shallow layer above surface;
fog more common in winter because of longer nights;
common with strong surface inversions
stratus "layer" (flat)
cumulus "heap/pile" detached (think cauliflower)
nimbus raining
alto middle
cirrus ice
bases >7km; ice only cirrus; thin and whispy
Cirrus: thin and wispy
cirrostratus: even thinner than cirrus and altostratus,
high clouds
see halo
cirrocumulus: even smaller and dinner details and
structure, smaller than altocumulus
bases 2-7km; generally water
altostratus: higher and thinner than stratus, look for
some sunlight
Middle clouds
altocumulus: can be cellular (but smaller cells than
stratocumulus)
nimbostratus: like stratus but with rain
