Clouds play a pivotal role in the Earth’s climate and weather. They form in a diversity of distinct patterns and types that can have profoundly different impacts on things such as the water cycle and how radiant energy moves through the atmosphere. Earth-observing satellites have been capturing images for decades and these datasets offer a unique opportunity to study clouds and their impact on the Earth system.Clouds play a pivotal role in the Earth’s climate and weather.
