Cloud structure refers to the physical and spatial organization of clouds in the Earth's atmosphere. This research area focuses on understanding the various shapes, sizes, and arrangements of clouds, as well as the processes that govern their formation and evolution. Scientists study cloud structure to gain insight into their role in weather patterns, climate dynamics, and global energy balance. Methods used to study cloud structure include satellite imagery, radar observations, and numerical modeling. Understanding cloud structure is important for predicting weather events, assessing climate change impacts, and improving weather forecasting models.
