Allie Ward: 本期节目采访了云彩学家Rachel Storer博士，探讨了云彩的科学知识，包括云彩的类型、形成过程、以及气候变化对云彩的影响。访谈中，Rachel Storer博士深入浅出地解释了各种云彩的特征，例如积云和层云的区别，以及火积云、透镜云等特殊云彩的形成机制。她还解释了雨的形成过程，以及露点在云彩形成中的作用。此外，她还探讨了雾和云彩的关系，以及不同高度的云彩的分类。 Rachel Storer: 作为一名云彩学家，我对云彩的形成和变化机制有着深入的研究和理解。积云是由温暖的空气上升形成的蓬松云，而层云则是由缓慢上升的空气形成的平层云。雨的形成是由于云中的水滴逐渐增大，直到重力克服空气浮力而落下。露点是空气中水汽达到饱和并开始凝结的温度。雾实际上是接触地面的云。根据高度，云彩可以分为高云、中云和低云。气候变化会影响云的类型和分布，但不会导致某种云的灭绝。关于谚语“晚霞红，晴天好；朝霞红，雨水到”，它有一定科学依据，与高压系统和云的类型有关。下雨不是取决于云的重量，而是取决于雨滴的大小和重量。云彩不是方形的，是因为空气的湍流和云中水滴分布的不均匀性。其他行星上的云可能由水以外的物质组成，例如甲烷。 Allie Ward: 在节目中，我还向Rachel Storer博士提出了一些听众的问题，例如云彩为什么是白色的，冬天为什么经常阴天，以及气候变化对云彩的影响。Rachel Storer博士对这些问题都做出了详细的解答，并解释了相关科学原理。

Cumulus! Lenticular! Venti sugar-free stratocumulus stratiformis translucidus undulatus! Those light and fluffy things that hang overhead weigh thousands of pounds and form under all kinds of conditions. Cloud doctor and nephologist Dr. Rachel Storer chats about why she loves clouds, the different varieties of them, what makes it rain, whether sailors delight at red skies at night, why clouds are never square and where we can find diamond rain.
