Recently, a huge “tumbling cloud wall” appeared in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia. It looked very spectacular under the sunlight. In addition, Xinhua News Agency was accompanied by a piece of classic music from the 86th edition of “Journey to the West”. . This cloud that appears to have several layers and tumbles into the sky is actually a typical cumulonimbus cloud. The cumulonimbus cloud is also often called a thunderstorm because it usually occurs with lightning and subsequent showers. . In addition, cumulonimbus clouds are the only type of cloud that can produce hail. Figure: Cumulonimbus If you pay attention to the weather forecast, you may have heard what kind of weather will produce hail, which is actually strong convective weather, and cumulonimbus is produced by convection. Strong convective weather generally occurs in the afternoon in summer. Due to the accumulation of enough heat on the ground under the sun during the day, the hot and humid air on the ground makes a violent upward movement. After reaching a certain height, due to the temperature drop, the water vapor condenses and finally causes rainfall. In this strong convection situation, if the shooting angle is better, you can see a very spectacular cumulonimbus cloud. Using the topic of cumulonimbus clouds, I’ve rounded up 7 other interesting cloud phenomena and the science behind them. .
