...Clouds are formed by the accumulation of water vapor in the air, and they bring moisture to the various regions of the globe. Have you ever wondered what the various kinds of clouds are, and what kind of weather they appear in? There are actually over 100 different kinds of clouds, but for the sake of simplicity most of them can be grouped into ten different categories. These ten categories of clouds include low level clouds, middle level clouds, high level clouds, and cumulonimbus clouds which move across the various levels of the atmosphere. Low Level Clouds Starting with the clouds found closest to the ground, low level clouds include stratus clouds, cumulus clouds and stratocumulus clouds. These are the clouds which form beneath 6600 ft, or two kilometers from the ground and are made out of droplets of water....

...Clouds Jessica Pixley Weather and Climate Robert Morris University Clouds are an astonishing part of nature and help give us an idea of the current state of the weather. Clouds can vary dramatically in shape, size, color and position. Early in the nineteenth century French naturalist Jean-Baptitse Lamarck had started the first system to classify clouds which was polished by a naturalist named Luke Howard shortly after. Not until 1887 was Howards system finalized by Ralph Abercromby and Hugo Hildebrandson into the system we use today. This system entails four major cloud groups and ten basic types of clouds based on their appearance and position in the sky. The four groups are high clouds, middle clouds, low clouds, and clouds with vertical development. The first cloud in the high cloud group is the Cirrus cloud. Cirrus clouds are formed by the freezing of water droplets. They can be found normally above twenty thousand feet. These clouds generally appear white or light grey in color. Strong western winds blow these clouds into thin wispy strands known as “mares’ tails”. In my opinion, these clouds look like they are painted into the sky. When cirrus clouds are present expect a nice pleasant day ahead. The cirrocumulus is next in the high cloud group. These clouds generally are seen less than the cirrus cloud. These clouds are formed by ice crystals as well. They are also found above twenty thousand feet. If you hold you hand out and up at the sky these clouds will be...

...Clouds We can see clouds in the sky; it is like the white cotton in the sky. It is a visible mass droplet or ice particle in the air and is caused by condensation. Precipitation occurs from clouds but not all precipitation is from all clouds, there is no precipitation without clouds. Clouds can absorb solar energy which means it helps to lessen the heat. Without clouds days would have been much warmer and nights much colder. Majority of clouds are found in troposphere. Clouds are composed of other substances such as methane, ammonia, and sulfuric acid. The different types of clouds are cumulus, stratus, cirrus, and nimbus. Cumulus clouds are a type of low-level cloud that can have noticeable vertical development and clearly defined edges. Cumulo means "heap" in Latin. They are often described as "puffy" or "cotton-like" in appearance, and are generally less than 6,500 feet (2,000 m) in altitude. Stratus is a cloud belonging to a class characterized by horizontal layering with a uniform base, as opposed to convective clouds that are as tall or taller than wide. Stratus is used to describe flat, hazy, featureless clouds of low altitude varying in color from dark gray to nearly white. Stratus clouds may produce a light drizzle or snow. A "cloudy day" usually features a sky filled with stratus clouds obscuring the disk of the sun. These clouds are essentially above-ground fog formed either through the lifting of morning fog or when cold air moves at low altitudes over a region...

...to vanish. 3) If you were looking for a rainbow in the morning, which direction (N, S, E, W) would you face and why? It is best to look towards the west. Rainbows always appear in the opposite side of the sky away from the sun. 4) What is a halo? A Halo is a burst of light produced by ice crystals creating colored or white arcs and spots in the sky. Many are near the sun or moon but others are elsewhere and even in the opposite part of the sky. They can also form around artificial lights in very cold weather when ice crystals called diamond dust are floating in the nearby air. 5) Why is the sky blue? The sky is blue because molecules in the air scatter blue light from the sun more than they scatter red light on a cloudless day. When we look towards the sun at sunset, we see red and orange colors because the blue light has been scattered out and away from the line of sight. 6) Why are sunrises and sunsets red/orange? Because the light from the sun has passed a long distance through air and some of the blue light has been scattered away. If the air is polluted with small particles, natural or otherwise, the sunset will be redder. Sunsets over the sea may also be orange, due to salt particles in the air. The sky around the sun is seen reddened,...

...conditions as they influence the prediction of weather. Taking the temperature is a fieldwork technique used to complete a weather diary of meteorological conditions. The act of taking the temperature can be varied and if not done correctly can alter your results. For my weather diary I made sure I took the temperature at the same time every day as to get true, comparable results. To keep consistency in my results I also took the temperature using the same thermometer each time, and took the readings from the shade, rather than somewhere in direct sunlight, which could have given a fake result, as the temperature readings could have been higher as they were I the sun. this helped me complete my weather diary, as it allowed me to see the temperature of a number of weeks and use it as comparable data, in other areas of the weather diary, such as pressure and cloud cover. Cloud cover and cloud types were another fieldwork technique used to complete my weather diary. By looking up into the sky, in the same place and the same time every day I was able to roughly give a result in oktars of how much cloud cover there was on a particular day. As...

...Cloud Computing Abstract: In this fast computerized world, cloud computing is one of the emerging technology in today's life and plays a major key role in changing the aspects of the computer world as many organizations have started using it from day to day life. The main purpose of "The Cloud" is what kind of models/architectures it offers for research and development in this digital world. Cloud computing primarily focuses on sharing data over a scalable network. The network includes data centers, end user computers and web services. Such a network of nodes is called cloud. An application based on such cloud is called cloud application. Usually, cloud is an image for internet which uses the existing infrastructure to access services regardless of location and time. Before we discuss the service models, the cloud computing can be broadly classified into two categories namely: 1) Cloud Applications: These are accessed by users via Internet as they run on a shared data center. Example: Google apps 2) Cloud Platforms: These are used by developers for supporting cloud applications, run applications, store data and other important services. Example: Amazon Web Services Cloud computing environment has three core options which are as follows: SaaS (Software as a Service): It consist of end-user applications. The most commonly used example is Sales force which provides a customer relationship management. PaaS (Platform as a Service): It provides an application platform as...

...The Future of Cloud Computing Melissa Gilchrist INF 103: Introduction to Digital Literacy Brent Ferns March 3, 2014 The Future of Cloud Computing Cloud computing is defined as being a replacement of all computers with “dumb” terminals that have no software or complex operating systems on them (Bowles 2013). This means that applications and the data used are being housed online rather than being put on your computer. As Americans these days we at some point are already using some of the cloud applications. With the future of technology rising in this day and age some wonder what the future actually holds for cloud computing and just how it will play a major role in society. After reading my textbook and the two scholarly articles I chose for my research paper, they all discussed the importance of cloud computing in the future and its advantages. This will have a large impact on technology and the use of computers. One advantage of cloud computing discussed in the course material Introduction to Digital Literacy (Bowles 2013) was the start-up time of the actual cloud. Software companies such as Google are now building operating systems that exist on-line rather than on your computer you use. This means that there would be non complex systems to boot up the computer. You would only have to press the power button and in seconds you will be connected to the internet as long as you have an internet connection. Another advantage would be the fact that computer...

Cloud computing is that permits the user a shared pool of computing resources over a network that contains all the programs the user needs to complete day to day tasks for his company. These programs include, applications, storage, computers and services, etc. Cloud computing has proven to be the fastest form of computing. It reached $88 billion revenue in 2011 and is expected to reach $145 billion by 2014 according to Gartner Inc. Technology consultants (Cheng and Borzo,2010, Veverka, 2010). Cloud computing can be private or public. Public cloud is regulated by an external service supplier such as Amazon Web Services. It is obtainable for the general public. Private cloud is an information centre that brings servers storage, data, networks, and applications together as a shared pool of virtualized services for the users within a company(Laudon,2013). Things to watch out for: Advantages: Safety: When using a trusted cloud computing service information is normally safer than being carried to places in susceptible devices such as laptop, USB etc. Cloud providers build their system in such a way that is dedicating towards the safety of the data of th user. cost efficient: The users are no longer required to input...

...Cloud Computing Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Cloud Computing Cloud storage is a means of having data stored on the Internet and accessed from any time and any place with an internet connection. This eliminates the need to carry physical storage devices such as hard drives and flash disks. There are four types of cloud storage. Personal or mobile is a type of cloud storage people use in their day to day activities through mobile devices, computers and even tablets. One can access their data and information even when their devices are lost because cloud storage offers backup services. A publicly available cloud platform can be rented by users and anyone with the login details of another user can access their information and data at any location. Cloud storage is also made privately available to ensure limited access to the data and information by providing a secure platform. Hybrid cloud storage is one that can be changed from public to private depending on the needs of the user or owner. In business, cloud storage can be used as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) where a company subscribes to the use of an application that can be used over the Internet. There is also Platform-as-a-Service through which the company creates its own custom applications that can be accessed by all workers through the Internet. Additionally, businesses can also use the Infrastructure-as-a-Service option by renting out or renting storage space over the internet to or from other companies...
