The amount of production depends on whether the sun is up and unobstructed by clouds.
Here outside the city limits cars speed by clouds of red dust in their wake.
Spectators in Pakistan and Bangladesh suffered the same fate as those in the UK, having their views obscured by clouds.
From the deck of the boat, the two Perhentian islands - Besar and Kecil - appear as a mirage shrouded by clouds.
That makes the telescope ideally suited for studying the formation of stars and galaxies, previously shrouded from astronomical view by clouds of impenetrable cosmic debris, and compiling a detailed analysis of their chemistry.
Solar energy can, of course, be gathered on Earth, but only about half of the sun's radiation ever makes it to the Earth's surface--the rest is either absorbed by the atmosphere or reflected back by clouds.
Many of his French colleagues found him too much: noisy, mischievous, attached to no school (though he had sat at the feet of both Henri Lefebvre and Roland Barthes in his feverish years at Nanterre, when teaching had been interrupted by clouds of tear-gas and cobblestone-throwing).
But if Svensmark was correct, it would mean that periods of high solar output should coincide with reduced cloud formation (due to reduced cosmic ray incidence), which in turn would have a warming effect on the Earth, since less sunlight would be reflected back into space by clouds.
What is new about Dr Cinzano's research, which is about to be published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, is that he and his colleagues have managed to take account of the effects of back-scattering by clouds and dust in the atmosphere, as well as the effects of the original sources of the light themselves.
The outlook is brighter but remains obscured by the clouds of a stronger currency.
It is obscured by vast clouds of gas and dust in the constellation of Sagittarius.
It attempted to calm hurricanes down by seeding clouds around them in a similar fashion.
It was a calm, sun-filled day, crossed by peaceful clouds that gave no hint of any natural disaster.
But there is a huge divide in what people mean by private clouds.
FORBES: Buyers Beware "Private Clouds" That Aren't Clouds at All
Essentially, Stoneware helps Lenovo step gracefully into the bring-your-own-device (BYOD) era by creating clouds that help both consumers and corporations keep all their devices in sync.
Whether by seeding clouds, spreading giant mirrors in the desert, or injecting sulfates into the stratosphere, most such plans seek to replicate the effects of eruptions like Mt.
Goux at his window, watching clouds float through the sky over Paris and comparing them unfavorably with certain clouds in paintings by Pissarro or the clouds in his nightmare.
But it can be as vivid, in its way, as those clouds by Constable.
Unlike light waves, radio waves are not blocked by the dust clouds.
Completely in a category of its own, the hurricane's eye measures about 1, 250 miles wide and is surrounded by fluffy white clouds the size of Texas.
And it was this fact that made Dr Gadian and his colleagues wonder what would happen to hurricanes if that effect were amplified by making the clouds brighter.
Meanwhile a team of Swiss researchers are harnessing rays of light for an entirely different purpose -- they've figured out a way to create rain clouds by shooting laser beams into the sky.
Back home, they had to deal with an utterly flat landscape laced by rivers and canals much of it below sea level, reclaimed by dikes forever loomed over by dark gray clouds, damp mists, and rain or snow.
By studying these clouds from every angle and at every point in their life cycle, researchers hope to learn more about how these storms, which can drive air more than 13km above the Earth's surface, will contribute to climate change in a warming environment.
If all else fails, you can try and find symbols in the clouds, the subject of a new book edited by Pretor-Pinney - Clouds That Look Like Things.
Remember when you were a kid and it's a cloudy day and you lie back in the grass and watch the clouds passing by and changing form and you're trying to see if they're characters or animals or other shapes?
Other techniques aim to enhance marine cloud reflectivity by introducing sea salt aerosols in low clouds, mimic the effects of volcanic eruptions by injecting sulphate aerosols into the lower stratosphere, or place shields or deflectors in space to reduce the amount of incoming solar radiation.
Micro-climates produced by urban heat make rain clouds dump their loads in inconvenient locations.
By pitch seven, storm clouds were rapidly building across the valley.
