How did clouds get their names? - Richard Hamblyn

View full lesson: http://ed.ted.com/lessons/how-did-clouds-get-their-names-richard-hamblyn The study of clouds has always been a daydreamer’s science, aptly founded by a thoughtful young man whose favorite activity was staring out of the window at the sky. Richard Hamblyn tells the history of Luke

Cloud Momevement and Patterns in our Earth System

For more Science Videos: https://lt.org/ * It has been heretofore understood that patterns of cloudiness are controlled by large scale weather systems. In this video, BJORN STEVENS challenges this orthodoxy, arguing that small and intermediate scales of motion play a key role in determining the Eart

Balloon Car Race by Dyson

Fun, hands-on educational activities for kids (ages 7-14) at home: make and race a balloon-powered car using just a balloon, a plastic cup, straws, thread and rubber bands. Watch the video to see Dyson engineers supersizing their balloon cars to see if they can win the race.

The Relationship Between Clouds and Atmospheric Waves

For more Science Videos: https://lt.org/ * Our planet’s cloudiness has been heretofore understood as being controlled by the slowly varying, large scale, atmospheric circulation known as the Hadley cell. In this video, CLAUDIA STEPHAN argues that this model is overly simplistic. * Bringing recent me

Clouds in Weather Patterns

Learn about factors, such as wind, moisture, temperature, and air pressure, at a regional level that help produce the weather that people experience locally. This video provides students with the opportunity to visualize a phenomenon that is too big and too remote to experience in a classroom. Stude

What Causes the Halo Phenomenon?

When ice crystals at high altitudes in cirrus clouds refract sunlight, a halo appears. But a classic halo is only visible when the light exits at an angle of 22 degrees. Autor: ZDF/Terra Xpress/Autorenkombinat/Birthe Heer/Sebastian Kerz/Tobias Schönke/Maximilian Heß Translation and dubbing: alugha

How do raindrops form?

Scientists are studying the role of aerosols and how they contribute to the formation of clouds and rain. The microparticles serve as condensation nuclei on which water condenses. Author: ZDF/Terra X/SPIEGEL TV/Christopher Gerisch/Tilman Remme/Reiner Bauer, Oliver Gurr/Oliver Roetz/Hauke Ketelsen/

ScienceCasts: Electric Blue Sunsets

Summer is the season for electric-blue noctilucent clouds. NASA's AIM spacecraft is finding that these clouds continue to reveal details about how the atmosphere works. Visit http://science.nasa.gov/ for more. Click here to see more videos: https://alugha.com/NASA
