He says there are really only three kinds of clouds: lumps (cumulus), layers (stratus), and icy (cirrus). Alto means high, nimbus means head (rain). He catalogues the kinds of fog: advection, caused - warm air flowing over cool ground (two variations: steam fog and upslope fog); radiation, caused by earth losing heat to the night air; and precipitation, relatively warm rain or snow falling through cold air. ...Title Eric Sloane's Weather Book Authors Eric Sloane, August Edition illustrated Pub-Hawthorn Books, 1977 ISBN 0801523656, 9780801523656 Length 90 pages- ASIN: 0801523656 ...Ruth Reaser..LAX Vespa,Los Angeles Culver City- maybe this will do it! -At least you know what you're getting into- City- Media Mail USPS-you get the copy you were viewing carefully Drop kick-packed to protect it - in - transit.
