I asked the question before but I worded it incorrectly. Ie, (ie stratus, cumulonimbus, etc)
I suspect it is cumulonimbus...Thanks!What type of cloud is associated with the term 'anthropogenic'?
Probably the "right" answer is cirrus, because contrails in humid air can trigger cloud formation.
I've seen lowish level clouds down wind of a ski area with a lot of snow making equipment running, and of course cooling towers make low level clouds too. They generally hang around best when there isn't much vertical motion in the lower atmosphere, so they'd be a type of stratus.
cumulonimbus, i.e. thunderstorms are generally not regarded as anthropogenic, though hot parking lots can trigger enough rising air to create cumulus. The link isn't as obvious as the other cases.What type of cloud is associated with the term 'anthropogenic'?
'anthropogenic' means exists because of the activity of humans.
