clouds deep east energy escape event flow form heat hit ocean rain recently stored trap trapped tropical
Cirrus clouds are like a blanket. They trap heat in the system. That energy has to escape somehow. If enough energy is trapped and stored in the system, it can escape from the tropical ocean in the form of a hurricane, or in a big rain event like a 'Pineapple Express,' which is a deep flow of moisture in the tropics like we recently had hit the East Coast.

We want to understand clouds on a microscopic scale so we can determine the impact on a massive scale.
