An anvil is a cloud mostly composed of ice particles. Otherwise known as a cumulonimbus cloud, an anvil has reached the stratospheric...

The lowest level of a given cloud or cloud layer in the atmosphere, relative to the observer's position above the ground.

The expected rate of temperature decrease in an adiabatically rising air parcel when there is no heat exchange with the environment....

A cold core high is a high-pressure system with cold air at its center. These systems are typically associated with clear...
