Cloud Structures<br />
2010<br />
Since the beginning of the XIX century basic cloud structures observed<br />
from the earth surfaces have been classified by the Englishman Luke<br />
Howard.<br />
In this book an attempt is made to classify clouds seen from above using<br />
ENVISAT MERIS Level 1 RGB images.<br />
The work is concentrating on clouds above the ocean, and the clouds<br />
have been structured according to its visual characteristic features. The<br />
commonalities in their physical characteristics could be established, and<br />
also their occurrence can be linked to certain specific geographical regions<br />
and seasons in many cases. Co-existence as well as metamorphoses<br />
of cloud structures was observed.<br />
