Clouds are vertically divided into three levels: low, middle, and high. Each level is defined by the range of levels at which each type of clouds typically appears.<br><br>

 <br><br>The types of clouds are:<br><br>
High clouds: Cirrus (Ci), Cirrocumulus  (Cc), and Cirrostratus (Cs). They are typically thin and white in appearance, but can appear in a magnificent array of colors when the sun is low on the horizon.<br><br>
Middle clouds: Altocumulus (Ac), Altostratus (As).  They are composed primarily of water droplets, however, they can also be composed of ice crystals when temperatures are low enough.<br><br>
 Low clouds: Cumulus (Cu), Stratocumulus (Sc), Stratus (St), and Cumulonimbus (Cb) are low clouds composed of water droplets.

  <div class="eI2"><a href="http://www.dwd.de/" target="_blank">ICON-D2</a> The ICON dynamical core is a development initiated by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) and the Opens external link in current windowGermany Weather Service (DWD). This dynamical core  is designed to better tap the potential of new generations of high performance computing, to better represent fluid conservation properties that are increasingly important for modelling the Earth system, to provide a more consistent basis for coupling the atmosphere and ocean and for representing subgrid-scale heterogeneity over land, and to allow regionalization and limited area implementations.<br>

  <div class="eI2">A previs&atilde;o num&eacute;rica do tempo usa o estado instant&acirc;neo da atmosfera como dados de entrada para modelos matem&aacute;ticos da atmosfera, com vista &agrave; previs&atilde;o do estado do tempo.<br>
Apesar dos primeiros esforços para conseguir prever o tempo tivessem sido dados na d&eacute;cada de 1920, foi apenas com o advento da era dos computadores que foi possível realiz&aacute;-lo em tempo real. A manipulaç&atilde;o de grandes conjuntos de dados e a realizaç&atilde;o de c&aacute;lculos complexos para o conseguir com uma resoluç&atilde;o suficientemente elevada para produzir resultados úteis requer o uso dos supercomputadores mais potentes do mundo. Um conjunto de modelos de previs&atilde;o, quer &agrave; escala global quer &agrave; escala regional, s&atilde;o executados para criar previsões do tempo nacionais. O uso de previsões com modelos semelhantes ("model ensembles") ajuda a definir a incerteza da previs&atilde;o e estender a previs&atilde;o do tempo bastante mais no futuro, o que n&atilde;o seria possível conseguir de outro modo.<br>
