Convection and Clouds• A thermal starts the convection current
rising as it reaches the LCL the cloud forms.
• Convection continues and the cooler air (because of Condensation) flows outside the cloud and back down to the surface.
• As clouds grow they cut off heating and convection. Without rising air, the cloud will begin to erode as droplets evaporate.

Convection and Clouds
• As the cloud dissipates the heating renews and new thermals are produced which generate another cumulus cloud.
• Cumulus come and go at the same spot. • However, if the air is hot and humid and the
sky is full of cumulus clouds then, if there is no mixing of air, one thermal produces a cumulus cloud when RH is
• 100% and rising air remains saturated...•

Convection and Clouds
• Let the lower region (A) of air below the LCL is conditionally unstable. Above the LCL (B) the air is absolutely stable and above that (C) there is a subsidence layer where the air is also absolutely stable.
• Region A ELR = 7.5oC/km
• Region B ELR = MALR = 6oC/km
• Region C ELR = +6 oC/km

Convection and Clouds
• If in Region B, the ELR becomes greater than the MALR, then the region becomes conditionally unstable and Cumulus Congestus clouds form.
• If Regions A&B are both conditionally unstable, then Cumulonimbus form.
• CN clouds are rarely in the stratosphere, they tend to spread out and form an anvil
• at the top. At mid-lat, winds flatten the top.

Mountain Wave Clouds
• Some clouds form on the lee sides of mountains.
• Stable air over a mountain may move in a wave shape.
• Dry and near the top --> rotor clouds
• Moist above top --> mountain wave clouds
• Moist very high above the top ---> Lee wave clouds.

Changing Cloud Forms
• With certain conditions
• altostratus --> altocumulus
• Conditions are: top of cloud -->cools
• bottom of cloud -->warms
• Similar effects for: stratocumulus and
• cirrocumulus
![Page 44: Fig. 6-CO, p. 138](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56815a11550346895dc7598e/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Changing Cloud Forms
• Uniform wind through cloud layer --> cloud streets. New cloud elements appear uniformly distributed.
• When wind reaches a critical value --> billow clouds form.(Tops have wave shape form)
• Altocumulus castellanus form when rising air causes conditionally unstable air above the cloud. The heat comes from condensation.

Mixing Moist Layers
• Vertical mixing of moist stable air by the wind, causes the lower warm air to warm more and the top to cool, causing saturation and stratocumulus clouds to form.
• If surface is very warm, thermals may move into the stable region and form congestus cumulus or cumulus clouds.
