Stratus Clouds

How do warm fronts form through air mass displacement and overrunning? Understand atmospheric lifting and the weather changes these systems bring.

How does sea fog form? See how warm air moves over cold water and cools to its dew point temperature to create dense marine advection fog.

Advection fog formation happens when moist air cools over cold surfaces. Learn how temperature gradients and marine layers create coastal fog.

How do stratus clouds form through stable air cooling and moisture saturation?

Learn how orographic stratus forms when moist air lifts over the Great Dividing Range. See why this low cloud affects aviation and visibility.
