Cloud formation 夠竟係吸定放latent heat?
September 14, 2024
https://www.weather.gov/source/zhu/ZHU_Training_Page/clouds/cloud_development/clouds.htm Formation of cloud requires a continuation of the lifting process. It is assisted by the property of water of giving off heat when changing from vapor to liquid and solid states, the latent heats of condensation and of deposition, respectively. (If the vapor first changes to a liquid before freezing, then we also have

Ref: https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/en/clouds.html 雲係一種同水有關既大氣現象 A cloud is a hydrometeor consisting of minute particles of liquid water or ice, or of both, suspended in the atmosphere and usually not touching the ground. It may also include larger particles of liquid water or ice, as well as non-aqueous liquid or solid particles such as those present in fumes, smoke or
Types of meteors (WMO)
September 8, 2024
Ref : https://cloudatlas.wmo.int/en/general-classification-of-meteors.html (4) Four types of meteors (WMO): 水 moisture related 光 light related 電 electrical related 塵 dust and particle related Meteors present a great diversity of character. However, by considering their constituent particles or the physical processes surrounding their occurrence, meteors can be classified into four groups: hydrometeors, lithometeors, photometeors and electrometeors. 大氣現象呈現出多種多樣的特徵。但是，根據它們的組成粒子或它們發生期間的物理過程，大氣現象可以分為四組：水凝物、大氣塵粒現象、大氣光學現象 和 大氣電學現象。
