Science Photo Library - Features Jet stream cirrus clouds – the jet stream is that fast moving current of air that dictates how sunny or how wet our UK summers are. Pileus clouds are small clouds that form on top of a bigger cloud. In this photo, a pileus cloud (centre) has formed above a cloud of volcanic ash from the Sarychev volcano. The snap was taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station.Note too the ring of non-cloudy air surrounding the volcano which is thought to have been caused by the eruption.
Science Photo Library - Features Sonic Boom Cloud This F/A-10 Hornet fighter jet is not flying through a cloud, instead, it created the cloud by accelerating towards the speed of sound (768mph). It is thought that the drop in air pressure around the plane when it travels so far causes moist air to condense and form water droplets. Actinoform Clouds Only visible from space, these large cloud formations form ray like patterns over hundreds of kilometres. They are associated with drizzle and gloomy weather.
