We are showcasing the cloud images across the Globe from AFR Satellite. Though we try to avoid imaging clouds, since AFR is an optical imaging satellite, we sometimes get clouds in images. At any moment, about 60 percent of the earth is covered by clouds, which have a huge influence on the climate.
This AFR collage showcases fascinating cloud formations from various parts of the world, with probable identifications based on their patterns:
• Gulf of Aden (Top-Left): These clouds are likely Altocumulus, Mid-level, patchy clouds with wave-like appearance.
• Doklam, Sikkim, India (Top-Right): Likely Nimbostratus clouds, known for their thick, rain-bearing nature over mountainous regions.
• Asuncion, Paraguay, South America (Bottom- Left): The cloud patterns here suggest Cirrus, Thin and wispy clouds at high altitudes, often signalling a change in weather.
• Kolkata, India (Bottom-Right): These clouds appear to be Cumulus, Puffy and white clouds with flat bases, typically forming
