A New Cloud On The Horizon? Photos


Iowa Cloud

This June 20, 2006 photo taken from a downtown Cedar Rapids, Iowa office building shows what may become the first new cloud type to be recognized by scientists since 1951. Meteorologists vertically divide clouds into three levels: high, mid-level and low. Within each of these level (or etages) are 9 categories.
