At 1, 800m in elevation, low clouds often fill the valley like a lid, the palms scratching their wispy underbellies.
The day was gray and moist, with low clouds weighing on the rooftops and a thin fog floating below.
National Weather Service meteorologist Steve Anderson said there will be low clouds in the morning, partly cloudy skies in the afternoon and a mostly clear outlook for the evening.
On the plains, there was nothing else to be seen: a vast, boundless expanse of scant grass under massive, low clouds, and no indication that a town might be near.
Investigators will try to figure out why the plane made such a steep descent into the home and whether the weather conditions -- light rain and low clouds -- played any role, he said.
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.
Under the low dark clouds of northern Uganda's rainy season, the leaders of the al-Wahl(ph) refugee camp meet to plead their case to a delegation of UN and US officials.
They concluded that changes in low-level clouds contributed most to differences in the degree of warming those models predicted.
At the moment, many researchers believe it is low-level clouds that matter most.
Low-level clouds are thought to matter more than high-level ones because they are more prevalent and because they are better at reflecting solar heat away from the Earth than they are at trapping it, blanket-like, as high clouds do.
And in a paper published two years ago in Geophysical Research Letters, Sandrine Bony and Jean-Louis Dufresne reported that an analysis of 15 climate models suggested that low-level clouds over the oceans contribute most to uncertainty about how tropical clouds affect those models.
Clouds hung low, like curtains pulled not quite all the way down.
It unveiled for a sinister, fluttering moment a ragged mass of clouds hanging low, the lurch of the long outlines of the ship, the black figures of men caught on the bridge, heads forward, as if petrified in the act of butting.

However, after three years of observations of low stratus, cumulus and stratocumulus clouds over land, Anthony Del Genio of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies discovered that when air temperatures were higher, clouds were thinner and thus less capable of reflecting sunlight.
There was only Benny Avni and the dog and the clouds, which had descended so low they nearly touched the tops of the cypress trees.
Companies typically transition to the cloud because the end users are already familiar with public clouds, which offer excellent service at a low price.
He headed for a low, flat area, and we hastily erected a camp just as the clouds blew over.
In doing this, I've got deeply involved in the full process from recycling the water from the clouds, bringing it down, filtering it, using it domestically, in low quantity and with grey water products outpouring from the house that goes straight into the crops that we are growing.
