After 23 years and nearly $900 million, EarthCARE is poised to provide an unprecedented look at how clouds and aerosols shape, and respond to, climate change.

Clouds are classified based on their form and their altitude. The World Meteorological Organization has categorized clouds into ten basic types, which are further divided into species and varieties.

NASA's Terra satellite photographed the bizarre voids, known as fallstreak holes or hole-punch clouds, above the Gulf of Mexico off Florida's west coast on Jan. 30.

Whether you love or hate them, there’s a lot to understand about these stratiform clouds that are so commonly found on the California coast, hiding the sunshine.
