1 Some types, such as marine stratocumulus clouds, can have a significant cooling effect thanks to their ability to reflect sunlight back out to space before it ever reaches the surface of the planet.

2 These droplets become the nuclei, or "seeds", around which reflexive stratocumulus clouds can form.

3 The algorithm was applied to analyze the radiative properties of stratocumulus over East China Sea. The results indicated that the itera...

4 It contains rolling green hills and a blue sky with stratocumulus and cirrus clouds.

5 Bruise-black clouds silhouetted a forest of giant gymnosperms while stratocumulus towered nine kilometers high in a violent sky.

6 The evolution process of nocturnal radiation fogs and lower stratocumulus and their effects on the boundary layer structure are studied with the calculation of a model.
