With its humble beginning as a Cumulus cloud Cumulonimbus clouds have great vertical development. Showers or thunderstorms may occur.
Types Of Convective Clouds From Fair Weather Clouds To Thunderstorms
And when that happens its called a.
. Hail forms in strong thunderstorm clouds particularly those with intense updrafts high liquid water content great vertical extent large water droplets and where a good portion of the cloud layer is below freezing 0 C 32 F. Downbursts have horizontal dimensions of about 4 to 6 miles 8 to 10 kilometers and may last for several minutes. C Maximum ozone depletion occurs during the Antarctic spring following the development of polar stratospheric clouds in winter.
These types of strong updrafts can. Thats common in supercell thunderstorms but its not a tornado yet. They do sometimes.
They are called multi-level clouds because of their ability to spread through the lower middle and upper cloud levels. The convective downdrafts that comprise downbursts form when air is cooled by the evaporation melting andor sublimation the direct change to vapor phase of precipitation in thunderstorms or other convective clouds. For reasons that have to do with the vertical thermal structure of the atmosphere and the combined effect of the geostrophic horizontal force balance and hydrostatic vertical force balance in the atmosphere the westerly winds become stronger aloft leading to the intense regions of high wind known as the jet streams in the midlatitude upper troposphere.
Multi-level Clouds are clouds that have a large vertical buildup. B Increasing levels of ultraviolet radiation have not actually been measured at this time. The protuberances tend to form a white mass without striations.
Sometimes a storm will suck up that tube of air until it becomes vertical. These vertical currents can spread. No part of the L3 Cumulonimbus cloud top has acquired a fibrous appearance or any anvil has yet developed.
Middle clouds seldom produce any rainfall. The clouds are characterized by vertical air movements called updrafts. The presence of lightningthunder.
