There are 10 basic "genera" of clouds most of the names of which would be familiar to schoolchildren: cirrus which describe the internal structure of the shape of clouds is a flattened pancake shape that looks a bit like a giant UFO Each type of cloud can only have one species but the same species types are present in multiple different genera of clouds a standard cloud identification might look something like "altocumulus stratiformis translucidus perlucidus undulates" — an altocumulus cloud arranged in a thin sheet (stratiformis) that is translucent to sunlight has small gaps allowing blue sky to show through (perlucidus) and which has wavy features (undulates) Get the world’s most fascinating discoveries delivered straight to your inbox are familiar to any storm chaser for their role in the formation of tornadoes The other main changes to the atlas are the addition of a new accessory cloud and the establishment of five new special clouds which describe unusual cloud formation circumstances The new accessory cloud type is called "flumen" and describes a low cloud associated with severe supercell storms The five new special clouds are: cataractagenitus describing clouds that develop from the spray of large waterfalls; flammagenitus describing clouds formed under the influence of wildfires; homogenitus describing clouds formed by human activities describing clouds formed under the influence of moisture from respiring trees; and homomutatus describing clouds originally made by humans that gradually transform into more natural-looking forms like a contrail that eventually spreads in the wind The cloud atlas is available online and will be official unveiled today (March 23) for World Meteorological Day Original article on Live Science.  Stephanie PappasSocial Links NavigationLive Science ContributorStephanie Pappas is a contributing writer for Live Science covering topics ranging from geoscience to archaeology to the human brain and behavior She was previously a senior writer for Live Science but is now a freelancer based in Denver and regularly contributes to Scientific American and The Monitor the monthly magazine of the American Psychological Association Stephanie received a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of South Carolina and a graduate certificate in science communication from the University of California La Niña is dead — what that means for this year's hurricanes and weather La Niña is dead after just a few months Space photo of the week: Record-breaking James Webb telescope image captures 1,678 galaxy groups at once This week's Gem worked hard for perfect grade point averagePNJMCLIFTON — This week's Gem is Kamila Kolodynska Kolodynska was this year's commencement speaker from The Graduate School at Montclair State University (MSU) while earning a master's degree in Law and Governance Poland and immigrated to the United States when she was 10 years old but she has now earned a master's degree with a perfect GPA Kolodynska said she hopes to work in the immigration sector following graduation May 20, 2020 | History which at around 750 years old was also one of the oldest trees in the country The tree in the Szprotawa forest district of Lubuskie Province had lived through the invasions of Teutonic Knights and Mongols But its condition had been deteriorating since it was damaged in an arson attack six years ago The tree was affectionately known as “Chrobry” in honour of Polish ruler Bolesław the Brave (Bolesław Chrobry in Polish) The moniker stemmed from a fabled meeting that was supposed to have taken place under its branches between Bolesław and the Holy Roman Emperor Otto III around the year 1000 The Chrobry Oak in 2007 (Skarabeus/Wikimedia Commons, under CC BY-SA 3.0) and instead began to germinate around 1250 – during the rule of Bolesław the Chaste as High Duke of Poland the first of three Mongol invasions of Poland had taken place The tree began to grow during the time of the Seventh Crusade whilst in England Henry III was on the throne one of the most important legal documents in British history Thomas Aquinas was also writing his first works The tree eventually grew to a height of 28 metres the tree was situated in what was then Germany and the tree was protected as a natural monument in 1966 It has since become a well-known Polish oak and foresters have even found letters addressed to the tree left next to its fence the tree faced its fair share of crises that threatened its survival Michalina Biernat from the Szprotawa forest district told Polsat that “oaks are famous for being able to survive a lot The most serious of them took place in 2014 and was the result of arson.” The 2014 fire was started in the tree’s rotten trunk with flames quickly spreading to the outside of the trunk much of the tree was destroyed in the fire it only grew leaves on a quarter of its branches the following year The culprit of the fire has never been found In other news today, it is reported that a 750-year old oak named "Chrobry" (after Poland's first king from the 11th c) finally succumbed to damage inflicted by arson in 2014. The oak didn't grow any new leaves this year.https://t.co/aGfpFuq1U9 — Wojciech Kość (@WojciechKosc) May 19, 2020 Since the arson attack, the Szprotawa forest district has been working to improve the tree’s condition, particularly as it has faced further natural damage. Over the last few years, the tree has been watered to alleviate the damage caused by the drought conditions in Poland The previous conservation work has also ensured it will live on in some form: shoots have been taken from the oak in recent years which allowed its vegetative reproduction whilst maintaining 100% of the genetic material Six of these cuttings were planted last year near the tree In 2004, acorns from the tree were blessed by Pope John Paul II after a foresters’ pilgrimage to the Vatican The oaks which have grown from these acorns are called papal oaks with around 400 now growing throughout Poland which at the age of 800 was considered to be the oldest oak in Poland The tree had grown in a forest near Kołobrzeg and was 32 metres tall Poland’s largest national park struggles to tackle worst fire in decades, threatening rare wildlife Main image credit: Wikimedia/rem49 (under CC BY 3.0) Juliette Bretan is a freelance journalist covering Polish and Eastern European current affairs and culture Her work has featured on the BBC World Service , , Karol Nawrocki even suggested that the state security services were involved in creating the scandal , , The 1,200 square metre national symbol was unfurled on the beach in Międzyzdroje , , The proportion of Poles saying the US has a positive influence on the world has also fallen to its lowest recorded level Apr 30, 2025 | , , , That response will include “large Polish and NATO exercises in Poland” Apr 29, 2025 | , , , Those employed in Poland work on average the third-longest hours in the European Union Apr 28, 2025 | , , , , Westinghouse and Bechtel were first chosen in 2022 as partners on the 192 billion zloty ($51 billion) project please consider helping us to continue and expand it [email protected] Copyright © 2025 Notes From Poland | Design jurko studio | Code by 2sides.pl Senior Research Fellow at the Global Europe Centre ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Weronika Strzyżyńska is currently studying journalism at Goldsmiths as a Scott Trust Bursary recipient She  has written on issues immigration and Brexit for New Statesman and Prospect Agnieszka Wądołowska is managing editor of Notes from Poland She has previously worked for Gazeta.pl and Tokfm.pl and contributed to Gazeta Wyborcza ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Daniel Tilles is editor-in-chief of Notes from Poland and assistant professor of history at the Pedagogical University of Krakow He has written on Polish affairs for a wide range of publications The Independent and Dziennik Gazeta Prawna ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Stanley Bill is the founder and editor-at-large of Notes from Poland.He is also Senior Lecturer in Polish Studies and Director of the Polish Studies Programme at the University of Cambridge Stanley has spent more than ten years living in Poland He founded Notes from Poland in 2014 as a blog dedicated to personal impressions cultural analysis and political commentary He is committed to the promotion of deeper knowledge and understanding of Poland He is the Chair of the Board of the Notes from Poland Foundation ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Professor of European Studies at Oxford University ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Professor at the Institute of History of the Jagiellonian University ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Executive Director of Taube Family Foundation ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Associate Professor at the Institute of Political Studies of the Polish Academy of Science ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR ARTICLES BY THIS AUTHOR Kulminacyjne fale na Bobrze wkroczyły do województwa lubuskiego W rozmowie Robertem Kornalewiczem – zielonogórskim radnym PO padają także pytania o podsumowania Winobrania -Jesteśmy bardzo ostrożni w kreowaniu najgorszych scenariuszy Rozmawiałem dziś rano w wojewodą lubuskim Markiem Cebulą gdzie spodziewana jest dzisiaj fala kulminacyjna między godziną 15 a godzinami nocnymi W czwartek fala mniejszych rozmiarów powinna pojawić się na Nysie Łużyckiej – przekazywał Kornalewicz nie ma jakiegokolwiek zagrożenia dla Zielonej Góry i sołectw ale dzięki zbiornikowi w Raciborzu będzie ona wypłaszczana Nie jest spodziewane wylanie się rzeki z koryt a tą strefą zagrożenia u nas są sołectwa Krępa że tam nie dojdzie do żadnych podsączeń – podkreślał zielonogórski radny Coraz więcej osób powyciągało swoje jednoślady i po zimie ruszyło w plener Za dwa tygodnie o tej porze powinniśmy znać już wyniki pierwszej tury wyborów prezydenckich Jakie nastroje panują w sztabie Rafała Trzaskowskiego 5 maja 2025 roku projektantka mody Natalia Ślizowska odwiedziła marszałka województwa lubuskiego Marcina Jabłońskiego po powrocie z międzynarodowej wystawy Expo 2025 w Osace Tak jak było z ostatnią wizytą Karola Nawrockiego w Białym Domu – pisze Andrzej Flügel w NIP: 973 05 90 332 | REGON: 970770089 | TERYT: 0862011 16742 Deklaracja dostępności Województwo Lubuskie – UrządMarszałkowski Województwa Lubuskiego Godziny otwarcia:pon-pt: 7:30 – 15:30
