Difinisi Awan dan Hujan
Proses Pembentukan Awan dan Hujan
Tipe Awan
Berbagai tipe awan
Tipe Presipitasi
Radiasi Matarahari
Pengaruh Gunung/bukit
Karena kabut
Konvergen
Udara Naik
Radiasi matahari: pemanasan matahari pada siang hari
menyebabkan suhu di permukaan tanah tinggi, ini
mengakibatkan udara mengembang dan naik mendesak
udara di atasnya. Naiknya udara tersebut Akan
menyebabkan suhu turun dan pada suatu saat
mencapai titik kondensasi. Jika udara tetap pada titik
tersebut maka terus terbentuk awan yang banyak. Ini
menyebabkan terbentuknya awan Cumulus dan
Cumulonimbus.
Gunung/bukit: bila angin bertiup menjumpai gunung/
bukit maka akan naik, dengan naiknya angin tersebut
menyebabkan suhu turun dan suatu saat mencapai titik
kondensasi. Bila terus berada pada titik tersebut maka
awan yang terbentuk banyak.
Tipe Awan
o Awan Rendah, Awan ini berkembang pd
ketinggian 0-2000 m dpl.
Altostratus (As)
Midlevel
2400-6100 m (650020000 ft)
Appears as a gray sheet
and is typically lighter
than nimbostratus but
darker than cirrostratus
The sun may be seen
through the cloud and
appear as a bright spot
Formed by the elevated
condensation of an air
mass usually a frontal
system and can be very
expansive
May produce very light
rainfall
Altocumulus (Ac)
Midlevel
2400-6100 m (6500-20000
ft)
Appear in either masses or
rolls and are similar to
cirrocumulus but the
masses are usually larger
and darker
Normally signal convection
and will take on a wavy
sheet-like appearance
Occur before a cold front
and may signal
thunderstorm development
later in the day
Cirrus (Ci)
High level
+7000 m (+23000 ft)
Thin and wisplike,
sometimes called mares
tails
Composed of ice crystals
Can indicate wind shear
based on the streaks
Cover approximately
30% of the Earth and
warm the planet via IR
absorption
Usually indicate a
change in the weather in
the near future or blow
off from a thunderstorm
Cumulonimbus
(Cb)
Vertical
2000-16000 m (650060000 ft)
Tall cloud that signifies
the presence of an
intense thunderstorm
Can form alone, in
clusters, or along a cold
front
Form from convection
and strong updrafts
which elevate the cloud
top to the tropopause
Jet stream shears the top
creating an anvil like
appearance
Cirrocumulus (Cc)
High level
+6000 m (+20000 ft)
Convective environment
and composed primarily
of ice and supercooled
water droplets.
Generally short lived as
they may evaporate or
precipitate as virga in
either rain or snow
Patterns may look like
fish scales so sometimes
called mackerel sky
