Western University expands use of meteor cameras to track contrails and tackle aviation-induced climate change ...

Cirrus clouds at the level of the jet stream – often about 6 miles (10 kilometers), above the ground – can sometimes move at over 200 miles per hour (320 kilometers per hour).

Cirrus clouds gracefully float through the sky like feathery wisps of white. While cirrus clouds during the day can add a unique twist to a solar eclipse, too many cirrus clouds at night can blot ...

Cirrus clouds, known for their wispy, feathery appearance, are shaped by strong winds high in the atmosphere. These winds act on the ice crystals that make up cirrus clouds, twisting and spreading ...

Other ideas for geoengineering include seeding cirrus clouds to allow more heat to escape into space. Currently, the wispy high-altitude clouds act as a blanket, trapping in heat.

Cirrus clouds at the level of the jet stream – often about 10km above the ground – can sometimes move at more than 320km/h. But because they are so high up, it’s often hard to tell how fast ...

23 November 2023 Huge California wildfires seeded cirrus clouds half a world away Smoke from record-breaking fires in 2020 travelled all the way to Cyprus, where it helped to trigger cloud formation.

Radiative forcing due to the effect of aviation soot on natural cirrus clouds, considering different assumptions on the ice-forming properties of aviation soot particles, described by critical ...

The luminous halo was created by light reflecting off tiny ice crystals from cirrus clouds — thin and patchy clouds that form between 20,000 and 40,000 feet (6,100 and 12,200 meters) above Earth ...
