  Two-channel AVHRR discrimination of volcanic clouds
Band 4 (10.3 to 11.3 um) minus band 5 (11.5 to 12.5 um) brightness temperature difference images are used to detect the volcanic cloud, and distinguish it from meteorological clouds.
For meteorological clouds, the absorption of the of energy from the underlying surface is greater in band 5 than in band 4, due to a larger refractive indices for water and ice particles in the band 5 region than in the band 4 region.
For transparent volcanic clouds, the absorption of energy from the underlying surface is greater in the band 4 region than the band 5 region, due to a larger refractive index for silicates in the band 4 region than in the band 5 region.

 A Field Guide to Clouds
Generally, the clouds are as high as they are wide, and may rise as high as 20 km.
Within the cloud, as water vapour condenses to liquid water droplets, much heat is released, and this heat rises within the cloud.
The edge of the cloud may be difficult to discern, and they usually produce a steady stream of rain or snow.

 ARE CLOUD BANDS ON MARS SO RARE
The ECB is a faint violet or blue-white band of high altitude ice crystals that appears as a broad and diffused hazy streak crossing within ±20 degrees of the Martian equatorial zone.
Cloud bands are probably composed of thin CO ice crystals carried aloft by high altitude winds.
Also, cloud bands are seen to streak across many degrees in longitude in far northern or southern latitudes.

Believing it is the playwright's duty "to teach the city what is best," Aristophanes wrote Clouds to satirize Socrates and other philosophers for their manipulations of the truth through specious reasoning and their reliance on logic and science to explain the mysteries of the world.
The promising device of the Clouds Band on stage (Benjamin Gerut on guitar and vocals, John Norwood on bass and Chuck Staab on drums) unfortunately produces the opposite of its intended effect: slowing down the pace and causing the action to languish, rather than contributing an invigorating injection of adrenalin to the proceedings.
Clouds is the story of Strepsiades (Andy Hoover), a simple man whose son Pheidippides (Michael Stout) has run him into heavy debts through his profligate life style.

 erasing clouds book review: belle and sebastian
His descriptions of the songs fail to capture any of their uniqueness, and his judgments seem unsupported (and generally coincide with the band members' basic feelings about which albums and songs are the best).
What we're left with that's worthwhile, then, is the story of the band, told by the current and former band members, and a few of their friends/collaborators, themselves.
Conflicting ideas within the band — about how collaborative the songwriting process should be, about how much energy should be put into achieving mainstream success, about what they're all in the business of making music for — are central to the story, at every step of the way.

The experimental instrumental band known then as "Waveform" was created in an attempt to bring to the music scene something different...and this is what the came up with.
The voice could be argued to be one of the guitars that does have adistinctive sound, which is reacting to the distinctive verses and chorus.
Not the usual band that you and your mate decide to make but one that you and your mate should have decided to make...because this is purely genius.

 Universe Today - Middle Latitude Clouds on Titan Are Familiar
University of Arizona scientists say that the peculiar clouds at middle latitudes in Titan's southern hemisphere may form in the same way as distinct bands of clouds form at Earth's equator.
Each long cloud consists of a number of vigorous storms where clouds rise to 40 kilometers altitude (25 miles) in a couple of hours and dissipate in the next half hour.
The rate of cloud ascent and dissipation suggests that we are witnessing the formation of convective clouds, likely similar to thunderstorms, that disappear through rainfall.

 Cirrus and Altostratus Clouds
Stratus, stratocumulus, altostratus, and cirrus clouds are thought to have the greatest effect on climate due to the large area they cover.
Prior to this review period, it was felt that the simulation of cirrus cloud feedback on climate was both premature and limited by our lack of understanding of the relationship between size and shape of ice crystals and the gross radiative properties of cirrus (Stephens et al.
Gultepe and Rao [1993] calculated the moisture and heat budgets of a cirrus cloud from aircraft measurements during FIRE and showed that the maintenance of cirrus can be attributed to relatively warm and moist advection, radiative cooling at upper levels, and moisture advection in the vertical.

Waves of clouds are moving from the upper portion of the frame towards the bottom (towards the east northeast).
Early in the sequence, a prominent circular band of clouds moves almost due east, rotating slightly counter-clockwise.
Linear cloud speeds vary from day to day, averaging about 16 km/hr (10 miles/hr); rotational rates appear to have been less than 10 km/hr (6 miles/hr).

 EO Newsroom: New Images - The Roiling Clouds of Katrina
The convective cloud towers, especially those along the eastern sides of the inner and outer eyewalls, attain the highest altitudes and indicate that the storm is strengthening.
The vertical and horizontal development of the convective clouds and the formation of an outer ring of growing clouds (referred to as an “eyewall replacement cycle”) also indicate rapid strengthening.
During this stage of hurricane development, an outer band of clouds may gradually move inward to replace the existing hurricane eyewall, causing the central pressure to increase and weaken the storm in the short term.

 Ivory Coast: Clouds Aversion.com Review
Although the band’s sound alludes to a plethora of indie-rock mainstays such as Piebald, Hum and Sebadoh, Clouds sees the band whipping its loud indie power pop into a shape of its own.
Guitars might be loud, and nobody can deny the band’s pop bent, but Clouds, like its predecessor, is far too concerned with straightforward power pop to be confused with the emo set by all but the most confused listeners.
While it’s easy to appreciate the band’s latest batch of songs, what’s more impressive is the artistic strides the band’s made in a mere year.

 Opaque Clouds   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
There are several reasons why a volcanic cloud may be characterized by a positive, rather than negative, band 4-5 brightness temperature difference.
The temperature difference method relies upon radiation from the surface beneath the cloud passing through the cloud, and being scattered and absorbed by particles in the cloud.
If the cloud is positive due to its opacity, one would expect that it would become negative over time, and thus be able to be discriminated using the band 4-5 temperature difference.

 CNN - Satellites to capture 3-D images of clouds - January 11, 1999
The so-called oxygen A-band spectrometer, being built by Ball Aerospace, is based on theory and experimentation developed by Colorado State atmospheric science faculty and graduate students.
Data from the two satellites, said Stephens, will lead to a better understanding of the way clouds (small water and ice particles suspended in the atmosphere) and aerosols (small dust particles) influence weather and climate.
A unique feature of the CloudSat spacecraft, to be built by Ball Aerospace, is that it will fly in formation with another satellite, ICESat, which carries a radar-like instrument called lidar that uses a visible light laser to detect an object's position and range.

 The Clouds
It is intended to show that in the propensity to philosophical subtleties, the martial exercises of the Athenians were neglected, that speculation only serves to shake the foundations of religion and morality, that by sophistical sleight, in particular, all justice was turned into quibbles, and the weaker cause often enabled to come off victorious.
The Clouds, themselves, who form the chorus, no doubt dressed fantastically enough, are an allegory on these metaphysical thoughts, which do not rest on the ground of experience, but hover about without definite form and substance, in the region of possibilities.
It is one of the principal forms of Aristophanic wit in general to take a metaphor in the literal sense, and so place it before the eyes of the spectators.

Clouds by Night were formed in 2004 by Manolis (Vocals, Keyboards, Programming) and George (Guitars, Bass).
Clouds by Night are currently composing and recording new songs, to be included in their first full length album.
Although unavoidably influenced by classic gothic rock bands such as Love Like Blood, The Sisters of Mercy, Nosferatu and Lacrimosa, Clouds by Night filter those elements through their own artistic anxieties thus resulting in a unique, personal sound.

 Global Patterns of Cloud Distribution   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
The band of clouds in the center is the "intertropical convergence zone".
The clouds are concentrated there because of rising airmasses at the equator (condensation, cloud formation), and because the converging air masses are rich in moisture.
If there were a mix of land and sea areas, such as in the northern hemisphere, weather patterns would be more irregular.

 The Girls From The Clouds - Gig Reviews - Music - Entertainment - smh.com.au
After eight years apart, the two singer-songwriters have reinvented themselves as the Girls From the Clouds - an apt name considering they are, in fact, the girls from once mighty Sydney rock band the Clouds.
Completing the cartoon transformation is a new song called Beyond the Clouds, which sounds like the theme tune to their own Archies-style animated sitcom.
With their sweetly intertwined voices and oddly angled arrangements, the early results are instantly recognisable to Clouds fans, but with a marked de-emphasis on the ballistic, Pixies-inspired guitar production that characterised the old albums.

 Tiamat : Clouds - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
The 1992 album Clouds was another major step in the quick sonic evolution of Tiamat, as the band continued to scale back their death metal roots while pursuing more conventional song structures.
Every song on Clouds is distinct in its own way, but it doesn't get much better than "In a Dream" and "The Sleeping Beauty," both of which combine delicate acoustic guitars with crushing riffs and atmospheric keyboards.
These same elements are mixed and matched in surprising fashion on "Smell of Incense," "The Scapegoat," and "Forever Burning Flames." The epic "Undressed" closes the album with similar inventiveness and points toward the future.
