Clouds are important in that they can form precipitation and bring rain to crops and plants. They also shade the earth, affecting the temperature and keeping sunlight from directly hitting plants.
The clouds can also be associated with very high surface winds which may indicate the presence of, or induce, winds and waves in the stratosphere. They form at temperatures of around minus 85ÂºC, colder than average lower stratophere temperatures, and are comprised of ice particles ~10Âµm across. The clouds must be composed of similar sized crystals to produce the characteristic bright iridescent colours by diffraction and interference.
