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 />
