What Causes Green Clouds?

Occasionally you will see a sickly greenish tinge to a cloud. Ice in a cloud will scatter the sun's rays in a way that reflects green light. This odd color is often seen by severe weather observers who know that a cumulonimbus cloud which appears green contains ice at the higher levels and will likely create heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms, strong winds and possibly even tornados.

"I'd worked as an observer for years, but needed to re-certify. I learned more in this course than I ever imagined I could and I passed the exam with flying colors. I am also definately a better observer" TS, Louisiana

I knew nothing about weather at all. My new job depended on passing the weather observer certification test. Thanks to the patience and personal attention you gave us all, the entire class passed. JB, Texas

"When my company sent me to this class I thought I didn't need the training. I was wrong. Thanks" RB, Texas

You are the "Gold Standard" of teaching. Absolutely the best teacher I have ever had. DG, Louisiana
