The Classification of Clouds The scientific study of clouds began in 1803 when Luke Howard‚ a British pharmacist and amateur meteorologist‚ introduced the first system for classifying clouds. Although many other procedures for cloud classification have been devised over the years‚ Howard’s system is so simple and effective that it is still in use today. It is based on the shape‚ distribution‚ and altitude of clouds. He identified ten different categories‚ but they are all variations of three

Advantages Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network.[2] At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services. The cloud also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically re-allocated per demand. This can work for allocating

Cloud Types Common cloud classifications Clouds are classified into a system that uses Latin words to describe the appearance of clouds as seen by an observer on the ground. The table below summarizes the four principal components of this classification system (Ahrens‚ 1994). Latin Root | | Translation | | Example | cumulus stratus cirrus nimbus | | heap layer curl of hair rain | | fair weather cumulus altostratus cirrus cumulonimbus | Further classification identifies clouds
