Condensed water is called dew when it forms on a solid surface. Water droplets suspended in the atmosphere can sometimes send us beautiful colors.

The few clouds roll form in front of cold fronts. MORE ON WEATHER.COM: Mammatus Clouds (PHOTOS). Mid-level clouds are usually gray and are identified as either altocumulus, altostratus, or nimbostratus. Sometimes these huge masses of air are maintained above the top of a mountain by the ascendancy winds that piled one above the other, many distinct lenticular clouds. They are found downstream from the mountaintops held stationary by the upward wind which abuts on the relief. These long horizontal tubes are formed, perhaps, when moist air being cool encounters a layer of temperature inversion, where the temperature rises with height contrary to what is generally observed. The name translates approximately as roughened or agitated waves. Asperatus clouds captured by Johannah McKinney Cheek in Harrodsburg, Kentucky on August 3, 2015. Air masses that spreads the atmospheric wave has a variable humidity with altitude, this is why separate clouds form at different dew point of the air mass. The water droplets that will generate the cloud are formed from the humidity of the air cooled below the dew point.nota: The dew point is the temperature below which the water vapor in a volume of humid air at a given constant barometric pressure will condense into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. These clouds form differently than most as they form in sinking air instead of rising air. Under certain conditions, pockets of clouds can grow and contain ice or heavy rain drops that tend to form water balloons. These flowers bloom from July to October, open only in the morning and close the rest of the day. This new type of cloud, asperatus, was observed in several places of the planet. Asperitas, also known as Undulatus Asperatus, are a rare system of clouds that present themselves in the form of smooth, wave-like masses strewn across the sky. Mammatus comes from the latin "mamelle".In meteorology, this term refers to circular pockets that form the base of convective clouds such as altocumulus and cumulonimbus. What these clouds really depict is turbulent wave motion. Look skyward (from a safe place in a thunderstorm, that is) and you may see these undulatus asperatus clouds. Its disturbing forms remind computer generated images for collection of screen. The asperatus is an enormous massive cloud which invades the sky and takes tortured and totally terrifying aspects.Of the "rough" significant Latin word, the asperatus is the unofficial name to describe this type of cloud.
These eerie mammatus clouds appeared over a high school graduation ceremony in Pekin, Ill., on May 22, 2011, as part of the tornado outbreak that produced the devastating Joplin tornado the same day. The morning glory is a weird low cloud which is formed mainly in the Gulf Savannah in north Queensland in the Australian tropics (north). <img class="styles__noscript__2rw2y" src="https://dsx.weather.com//util/image/w/asperatus_ky1-2.jpg?v=at&w=485&h=273&api=7db9fe61-7414-47b5-9871-e17d87b8b6a0" srcset="https://dsx.weather.com//util/image/w/asperatus_ky1-2.jpg?v=at&w=485&h=273&api=7db9fe61-7414-47b5-9871-e17d87b8b6a0 400w, https://dsx.weather.com//util/image/w/asperatus_ky1-2.jpg?v=ap&w=980&h=551&api=7db9fe61-7414-47b5-9871-e17d87b8b6a0 800w" >Asperatus CloudsAsperatus clouds captured in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky on August 3, 2015 via Facebook by Kathy Bickers. Click on the posters below to learn more about the conditions and to download free high-res print and postcard files! first cloud formation added since 1951 to the International Cloud Atlas, and Roll Clouds Over Georgia, South Carolina. The wavy motion of the air becomes visible in the form of undulations (waves) in the cloud base. What are Asperitas Clouds? When this occurs uniformly throughout a broad front, we can expect to see a cloud that rotates around its axis, where the clouds roll. Altocumulus clouds are full of liquid water but generally do not produce rain. These globular clouds usually form underneath the base of a cumulonimbus cloud and are associated with strong thunderstorms. As surfers from Hawaii, these drivers are reckless tackle the turbulence of the Morning Glory. These rare clouds called morning glories condense usually at an altitude of about 2 kilometers. In particular, a downdraft from a storm front can cause elevated symmetrically with a warm, moist air until it cools to reach its dew point and then condense into cloud. Despite their stormy end-of-the-world-is-nigh appearance, these clouds… nota: The arcus cloud is a precedent usually the arrival of a squall line, the arcus is still very impressive. Asperatus clouds observed in Cincinnati, Ohio by Ron Steele on August 3, 2015. These ominous looking clouds can sometimes be observed ahead of a thunderstorm, after the thunderstorm's gust front has blown through. The roll cloud, the particular type of cloud Arcus has nothing to do with the cumulonimbus, the king of clouds extending over three floors air, lower, middle, upper, and even allows himself small incursions into the stratosphere .

We recognize our responsibility to use data and technology for good. These luminous phenomena are all unique and iridescent cloud is relatively rare, it can present any unusual or colorful palette of colors simultaneously. A roll cloud is a priori not likely to evolve into a tornado. The reflection of sun on water droplets illuminates a part of the large cloud, but the sun is hidden behind. It appears, however, quite rare. The clouds are probably crossed roller along its horizontal axis by a current of air. These iridescent clouds are made of water droplets of nearly uniform size.

The variety of the cloud is "asperatus" which means "roughened" so the name literally describes how this cloud looks, like rough waves! This cloud is “related” to mammatus clouds, which we typically see when we have rather strong to severe thunderstorms. In other words, ahead of either a single thunderstorm or line of storms, you may first experience a strong gust of wind, which is the gust front. (MORE: Asperatus and Roll Clouds Over Georgia, South Carolina). When the sun is hidden by thick clouds, as in this picture, these iridescent clouds, thinner diffract light in mixed colors, hence the white color in the center while the edges, we find all the iridescent colors of the rainbow.
Cloud experts say that plenty of heat in the atmosphere is needed to produce enough energy for formations of asperatus clouds. The wavy motion of the air becomes visible in the form of undulations (waves) in the cloud base. The name translates to mamma and means "mammary cloud" as they resemble the shape of a female breast.
