Well-defined, wave-like structures in the underside of the cloud; more chaotic and with less horizontal organization than the variety undulatus. Asperitas is characterized by localized waves in the cloud base, either smooth or dappled with smaller features, sometimes descending into sharp points, as if viewing a roughened sea surface from below. Varying levels of illumination and thickness of the cloud can lead to dramatic visual effects. Occurs mostly with Stratocumulus and Altocumulus.  1, record 3, English, - Asperitas

Les classifications ultérieures continuèrent à se fonder sur la forme des nuages, en différenciant des aspects relativement mineurs; plus tard, on attribua davantage d'importance à l'altitude des nuages, car les mesures directes des vents en altitude étaient très difficiles et on espérait avoir ainsi des informations relatives au vent sur une grande échelle en combinant les observations du mouvement apparent des nuages avec des estimations raisonnables de leur altitude fondées simplement sur leur forme.  3, record 20, French, - altitude%20des%20nuages

L'altitude se calcule généralement à partir du niveau de la mer et certains auteurs pourraient faire une différence entre l'altitude et la hauteur d'un nuage.  4, record 20, French, - altitude%20des%20nuages

C'est d'ordinaire à partir de la base (ou plafond) qu'on calcule la hauteur d'un nuage, d'où l'expression "hauteur de la base nuageuse (cloud-base height)" qu'on emploie parfois comme synonyme.  4, record 20, French, - altitude%20des%20nuages

Satellite image.... The most common is the infrared image which indicates the temperature of the cloud tops(or the land or sea in cloud free areas). Visible images are also used, but are only useful during daylight hours. Infrared images are most commonly used as they can be taken through night-time hours.  4, record 21, English, - infrared%20image

These images come from satellites which remain above a fixed point on the Earth (ie. they are "geostationary"). The infrared picture shows the same view but looking at a part of the spectrum which our eyes do not detect. The infrared pictures allow us to measure the temperature of the cloud tops, which can be used to determine their height. The whiter clouds are colder than the greyer clouds in this image. Infrared images can be recorded 24 hours a day. Visible pictures can only be made during daylight hours.  5, record 21, English, - infrared%20image

for continued condensation leading to the formation of cloud droplets, the air must be slightly supersaturated. Among the highly efficient condensation nuclei are the salt particles produced by the evaporation of sea spray, but it now appears that particles produced by man-made fires and by natural combustion(for example, forest fires) also make a major contribution.  1, record 22, English, - salt%20particle

Les tempêtes océaniques entraînent des embruns dans l'air. Les aérosols marins ainsi constitués donnent, après évaporation, des particules salines de 0,3 [micromètre] de diamètre moyen, dont le nombre décroît beaucoup au-delà de 3 000 m d'altitude. Enfin, les incendies de forêts et les cultures itinérantes sur brûlis, encore fréquents dans les régions intertropicales, constituent une source à la fois naturelle ou d'origine humaine émettant des aérosols.  2, record 22, French, - particule%20de%20sel
