The earth is called the blue planet because of the abundance of water. But it would be more appropriate to call it "cloud planet". Almost always two thirds of the Earth's surface the atmospheric mass of particles of water and ice. Clouds represent a beautiful sight from the Ground, but even more beautiful from orbit.

Riding on the wave
13 August 2016 the satellite "Landsat-8" took this picture of the clouds along the coast of Mauritania. Air masses from Africa and the Atlantic ocean collide in this image. The collision creates a wave structure in the atmosphere. The dust that is blown from Africa, like riding on the waves.

The formation of waves
November 27, 2015 the satellite Terra has captured the icebergs drifting along the coast of the island of South Georgia in 1.6 thousand km East-North-East of Tierra del Fuego. Two large iceberg large enough to air mass rose up above the ice. Ripples in the atmosphere produces clouds striped. Small icebergs form of ship waves.

Lone vortex
The satellite "Terra" filmed the strange system in the coast of Morocco, July 10, 2016. The system is very small — about 100 km in diameter and consists of thin clouds.

Repeating the shoreline
8 APR 2014 the satellite "Landsat-8" filmed the classic example of marine stratocumulus clouds off the coast of China.

Raised above the ground
"Landsat-8" passed over Madagascar on 20 January 2015. Conditions along the river Mania was such that clouds formed over land and not over water.

Over the hills
These pictures, which filmed the satellite "Landsat-8" from 2014 to 2016, talk about another mystery. The mountain chains of New Zealand, pictured here, is clearly higher than the tops of clouds. It is not clear, the mountains prevent the clouds to move to the other side of the circuit or help to form clouds? The answer depends on the wind direction.

Filling the valley
During the winter in the southern hemisphere (June to August) and early spring conditions in the Pacific ocean are suitable for the formation of stratocumulus clouds along the coast of Chile and Peru. The picture shows clouds off the coast of Peru on July 26, 2015.

Looks like snow, but it's not
And clouds, and snow out on satellite images in natural colours, white. 8 January 2016, the satellite "Landsat-8" took these pictures in false colors, and it became clear that valley in Vancouver is not covered with snow, and clouds.

Furious start
Clouds can be born from the heat of volcanoes, or, as in this case, from a fire. "Landsat-8" captured pyrocumulus cloud 5 Aug 2014 over the town of Yellowknife in Canada.

Hole in the sky
29 Jan 2007 the satellite "Terra" has made this extraordinary the phenomenon called "leaky clouds" over Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. A strange phenomenon is the result of a combination of low temperature, air movement and sometimes atmospheric instability.

In the frame
June 1, 2016, the satellite "Suomi" photographed the low stratus clouds, framing the iceberg A-56, which drifted across the South Atlantic ocean.
