I quite like clouds. Researcher at Imperial College London

It is @TheAcademy #Oscars today and #Oppenheimer is up for a lot of awards - but what about the clouds?
Why does the dark ending mean it only gets 5/10?

So if you are a filmmaker, what can you do about this?

First - you don't need to ignore the clouds, a cloudy Earth is still recognisably Earth (see this picture from the EPIC instrument on DSCOVR, taken earlier this week)

One of the best sci-fi shows ever made, Battlestar Galactica gets an 8.7/10 on imdb!

Unfortunately, the clouds in BSG are not the best aspect, scoring only 2/10. 🙁

Europe has a new weather satellite from @esa @eumetsat - it makes some very nice pictures, but the really cool thing is that it can now see blue! 🛰️🟦

Why does that matter? Find out more here

Finally time to answer the biggest question - where is the biggest cloud on Earth?

Is it what you expected?

It is the end of the year and we finally have time to get to the important questions:

Are the clouds in the Lion King scientifically accurate? ☁️☁️🦁👑?

Who doesn't like rockets - especially with the chance to see so many exciting clouds!

[Clouds and Climate @CloudsClimate]

Looking forward to the @NASAArtemis launch today! But what kind of clouds will we see where, and when, and why?

Energise! 🧑‍🚀

@StarTrek Voyager gets an 8/10 for #cloud #physics - was Captain Janeway a #cloud #physicist before she took command? #StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager

Today's big number: There are as many #cloud droplets on #Earth right now as stars in the observable #universe!

How do humans changes clouds, what does this mean for the climate, and how does this relate to your beer?

What is it about #caves ? They are apparently so important to monitoring the #climate that almost every #Satellite 🛰️ has a little model cave onboard.

Is it just for good luck☘️🐇🤞🐈‍⬛, or is there a more scientific reason🧑‍🔬for these orbital grottos🤔?

Those naughty clouds, sneaking off to misbehave in international waters...

[Clouds and Climate @CloudsClimate]

Perhaps my favourite result: cloud properties change as you leave US territorial waters - do clouds obey the law? https://t.co/BMgzXoNM4Y

[Ed Gryspeerdt @EdGrys]

The #Arctic is already warming, but extra #pollution might make the problem even worse!

[Clouds and Climate @CloudsClimate]

Adding aerosols to #Arctic #clouds typically makes them more reflective (cooling the #climate)
But in a warmer future, more aerosol from new industry actually makes clouds less reflective, accelerating the warming!

We spend a lot of time looking at #contrails from passenger and cargo #aircraft, which are typically long and straight.

Military aircraft leave contrails with different patterns that are visible from space.

Smoke make clouds rain? That's unpossible!
How well do @TheSimpsons do #cloud #physics? Does Lisa read the Journal of Geophysical Research? Is she secretly an expert in aerosol-cloud interactions?

How high was the Hunga #Tonga #eruption?
Inspired by @simon_sat, I applied our stereo matching code to satellite data.
It tells an amazing story of the evolution of the ash cloud and is an excellent reason to get a @NintendoAmerica #3DS (for work!) https://t.co/VNr3orP0hm

[Clouds and Climate @CloudsClimate]

It is the second week of #COP26Glasgow, where climate science has played an important role. But how hard have humans been pushing the climate to change? And what is the role of clouds? Find out more https://t.co/eI2PjMBoWV (1/12)

[Ed Gryspeerdt @EdGrys]

Back after short hiatus - why are there fewer #clouds over rivers? It turns out they are too wet! 🌧️

[Clouds and Climate @CloudsClimate]

Did you know: There is less #cloud over rivers? But rivers are made of water, shouldn't they be cloudier than the land?

[Ed Gryspeerdt @EdGrys]

@RoyalAlbertHall - I am running a set of cameras in at Imperial College to look at clouds (https://t.co/LhLCMRXETV). Wondering if it would be possible to put one on your roof (or even better a high up window)? Is there someone I can contact to discuss? Thanks!
