00:00:02in the evert epic.
00:00:17Since ancient times, clouds have stirred people's
00:00:19imagination.
00:00:22They saw fantasy lands, abodes of
00:00:25gods, some other mysterious worlds.
00:00:33to look at the clouds, to marvel at them, especially when they
00:00:36are far away and inaccessible, and even in those times when there were no
00:00:40possibilities to reach them, unless you are high
00:00:43in the mountains and the cloud descends on you, you enter the cloud, but no other
00:00:47possibilities, you just see it pass by, you don't know
00:00:51what's there, you see something white, you see something black, you see that
00:00:54on the top of the cloud something might
00:00:58live, because you don't know.
00:01:03Now we can even touch the clouds, we know exactly what
00:01:07they are made of. We know that clouds are
00:01:10simply visible accumulations of atmospheric droplets or ice
00:01:14crystals.
00:01:17But they still surprise us, fascinate, delight,
00:01:20frighten. As you already understood, in this
00:01:23expedition, Čepulis will run
00:01:25through the clouds.
00:01:39I really like clouds for many reasons,
00:01:43for example, because I can lie in the grass and stare at
00:01:47them for hours
00:01:47on end.
00:01:52Before, I was only interested in the shape of
00:01:54clouds, because they are very beautiful, they can be like
00:01:58some sort of... dragons, crocodiles, especially
00:02:02in the evenings, just before the sun sets, there are various
00:02:05shapes, these cumulus clouds
00:02:08give the most fantasy, and then you can look at them and
00:02:11imagine various things. Then I started to be interested in what types
00:02:15of clouds there are, and there are also many types of clouds, just like
00:02:19in biology we call plants and animals
00:02:22by Latin names, clouds also have Latin names,
00:02:26and there are many types.
00:02:36First of all, clouds are classified according to their
00:02:39altitude: high clouds are at
00:02:426-13 km altitude,
00:02:45middle-level clouds are at 2-7 km
00:02:48altitude, and low clouds are up to 2 km
00:02:51high. According to their appearance, 10 main forms are distinguished,
00:02:55for example, feathery high
00:02:57plunksninėi aukšti.
00:03:00cumulus,
00:03:02stratiform, rain cumulus, and
00:03:05so on. In addition to that, there are also 14
00:03:09types, nine subspecies, and nine
00:03:13varieties of clouds
00:03:20alive, well, almost alive. All those droplets have
00:03:23to condense somewhere on something, on some
00:03:27dust, on pollen, on...
00:03:30on sand dust brought by many,
00:03:34many elements can be there, tiny ones, water
00:03:37droplets start to condense on them,
00:03:39and one of the
00:03:43condensation points can be
00:03:46bacteria, and in some clouds there can be up to
00:03:5040% bacteria, that is, a cloud of bacteria is flying, and
00:03:53viruses are there too, because bacteria don't fly alone, because something
00:03:57has to parasitize, viruses.
00:04:00A cloud of viruses and bacteria is coming,
00:04:03I guarantee that you won't look at the clouds the same
00:04:06way now,
00:04:13what could be the national clouds
00:04:15of Lithuania? Of course, stratiform
00:04:19and stratocumulus or otherwise
00:04:22Zeppelin clouds,
00:04:24everything
00:04:26depends on the movement of air masses. With us,
00:04:30they stop, get stuck, don't move anywhere, and
00:04:33that's it. In the south, everything changes more, more
00:04:37heat, more action, so there are
00:04:40no such masses. So everything really depends on the weather and
00:04:43the heat. For example, without what there would be no wind, what
00:04:47is wind? Wind is the movement of air, why does air
00:04:50movement occur? Warm air rises, cold
00:04:54air descends, that's it, wind, and it then
00:04:57chases all the masses
00:05:00around the world.
00:05:03Clouds form when water vapor condenses on all
00:05:07sorts of tiny particles. In other
00:05:10words, warm air rises. and
00:05:13tiny visible water
00:05:15droplets form. The largest cloud factories are, of course, oceans
00:05:19and seas. Even 86%
00:05:22of water enters the atmosphere precisely from
00:05:25them.
00:05:27On land, plants are also very important for cloud formation. They
00:05:31suck up water, keep only one or two percent for themselves, and
00:05:35evaporate all the rest. And
00:05:37when the cloud disappears, when water droplets or crystals turn
00:05:41back into
00:05:43invisible vapor,
00:05:50after the end of the Zeppelin cloud season, on a beautiful spring
00:05:54day, I set out to herd clouds. This morning
00:05:57the sky was blue, blue, not a single cloudlet, then
00:06:01they started to condense, smaller cloudlets appeared, then bigger,
00:06:05bigger, bigger, and when you look at the clouds, you seem
00:06:08to see clouds floating, but in reality they
00:06:12appear, disappear, appear, disappear, and
00:06:15so by taking many photos over a long time,
00:06:19you then see the entire birth and death of clouds, a cloud simply
00:06:23disappears, appears, some can last for half
00:06:27an hour, an hour, others can last for several days, these
00:06:30clouds, until they are gone, until
00:06:33they rain out, until the wind disperses them, and so
00:06:37on. I took my tripod and camera,
00:06:40climbed a bit higher so I could see a wider
00:06:42horizon. You could simply film the clouds
00:06:46for several hours, and then speed up that film several
00:06:48times, but there is a better and simpler
00:06:52way, so now we'll see how the clouds
00:06:56move, and I'll take a few hundred
00:06:58frames, and they will be combined into one video, and
00:07:02then you can see the movement of the clouds, then it is clearly visible
00:07:06how the clouds form and how they disappear and how they come,
00:07:10a very beautiful sight, just with the naked eye. "Looking at the cloud, you
00:07:13won't see this.
00:07:17I usually set the camera to take 900 frames,
00:07:21that is one frame per second, 900
00:07:23seconds it will collect information, and from all
00:07:26these 900 seconds of photography
00:07:29I will have about
00:07:3220, 25 seconds of film. Sky photography
00:07:36is very, very often used, and when you photograph not
00:07:40only clouds, but also..."
00:07:43"lightning, storms, stars,
00:07:46a static image, but there
00:07:49is movement happening, and to see that movement, you can't film
00:07:53in real time either, you won't see the movement,
00:07:57you need to photograph and then combine
00:08:00the frames.
00:08:05I give the camera work, I herd the cloudlets with my
00:08:08eyes,
00:08:11200 frames already taken.
00:08:14"just here in half an hour the sky has already changed, these
00:08:18nice alto cumulus cloudlets appeared, or I don't know which
00:08:22of them, those small, fluffy ones, instead of big clouds, many small
00:08:25cloudlets, and they move much faster, because
00:08:29the wind in different layers is in different
00:08:32directions, it can even be in opposite directions, so
00:08:35higher clouds float in one direction, lower ones can float in the other
00:08:39direction, it seems that the upper ones are standing still.
00:08:43"and those little ones here below, well, at least it seems that
00:08:46they are below, they move quite
00:08:48fast, I think all
00:08:51expeditions could be so exhausting,
00:08:54tiring and demanding
00:08:56a lot of effort, what a hard job for a photographer,
00:09:00a sky photographer,
00:09:03on the other hand,
00:09:06much cooler than chasing
00:09:08all sorts of deer, you lie down.
00:09:12you look at the beautiful blue sky,
00:09:16you see beautiful clouds,
00:09:19fantastic.
00:09:25Well, I finished photographing, about 700 frames
00:09:29were taken, and the camera immediately combined them into
00:09:32a video, and now you can see what's
00:09:35happening,
00:09:43"when the cloudlet I had focused on appeared and disappeared,
00:09:46it just vanished,
00:09:48poof and it's gone, and then those
00:09:51little clouds drifted in, and then even bigger clouds,
00:09:54and it seems like everything is happening so fast here, you look at
00:09:58they just float,
00:10:02appear, disappear, appear,
00:10:05disappear."
00:10:06dingsta."
00:10:16I look at the beautiful fluffy clouds, they seem
00:10:20so light, but they only seem
00:10:22that way. How much does a cloud weigh? And that
00:10:26answer might surprise you, it can weigh a lot,
00:10:30thousands of tons. A cloud is made of tiny,
00:10:33tiny water droplets, much smaller
00:10:36than raindrops, and approximately
00:10:38one meter by one meter
00:10:42by one meter, that is, a cubic meter of
00:10:46cloud weighs from half a
00:10:50gram up to 3 grams, depending on
00:10:53the type of cloud. Let's say one
00:10:56gram, if one gram weighs a cubic
00:10:59meter of cloud, then clouds
00:11:03are usually large, well, they can be a kilometer
00:11:06long, you know, some standard cloud, which would also be,
00:11:10just to make it easier to calculate, instead of a meter, now a kilometer
00:11:13of cloud, a kilometer of cloud and another kilometer
00:11:17of cloud in the other direction, so such a cubic kilometer of cloud
00:11:20will weigh 1000 tons, and there are
00:11:24gigantic clouds. There are storm clouds, whose height is
00:11:276 km and can expand
00:11:30for tens of kilometers, so how much do they
00:11:33weigh?
00:11:40And why don't clouds then fall on our
00:11:43heads? How do they not fall? They fall when
00:11:47it rains and snows. That is, cloud droplets and ice
00:11:50crystals constantly descend very slowly, but their
00:11:54descent is also constantly compensated by air
00:11:57movement, so the cloud always floats
00:12:00across the sky, only when the droplets in the clouds
00:12:03become too large and too
00:12:06heavy by combining, then they turn into precipitation, rain, snow,
00:12:10hail. Precipitation is usually
00:12:14brought to us by nimbostratus and cumulonimbus clouds.
00:12:17The former give us steady, long-lasting
00:12:21rain or snow, while the latter
00:12:24bring short, but strong downpours, hail,
00:12:28often accompanied by thunderstorms and strong winds, and they really look
00:12:32fantastic. Storm clouds are of impressive
00:12:35height, in the tropics they are much higher, they can be up to 18 km
00:12:39high, with us it's about 13 km
00:12:43high, that is, if a plane flies at 10
00:12:47km height, then the clouds can be 13 km
00:12:50high, and then those clouds are visible from very, very,
00:12:54very, very far away. because it's risen quite high and you see the top
00:12:57100-200 km away, if you're in Kaunas, you can
00:13:01see all those big clouds poking out
00:13:04all around.
00:13:09Driving in the summer, I notice the rising top of a
00:13:12cloud. Far away, a huge storm
00:13:16cloud is visible and it is still forming, rising. How far
00:13:19am I from Molėtai, that cloud is
00:13:23somewhere now on the Latvian border near Tarasai, so by
00:13:27phone you can see where
00:13:29it is, where that storm is happening, it's thundering,
00:13:33but almost 100 km away, and wow, what
00:13:36a gigantic cloud, such an anvil-shaped cloud is
00:13:40a typical storm
00:13:41cloud.
00:13:51And I continued through Lithuania looking for other strange and impressive
00:13:55clouds, and here I will really need Lady Luck's
00:13:59help,
00:14:06you can't really plan to see a cloud, you
00:14:09can predict what the conditions will be and then try to look for it, but usually
00:14:13you drive and you see something interesting, that's why the
00:14:16expedition lasted quite long,
00:14:19because you just have to be in the right place
00:14:23at the right time.
00:14:28"when feathers appear in the sky on a beautiful day, and especially if they
00:14:32turn into such a transparent veil, I know that
00:14:35the beautiful sky will
00:14:36soon be gone."
00:14:39Very beautiful high
00:14:41cloudlets,
00:14:44these are cirrus clouds, there are several
00:14:47types of them, those individual cirrus clouds are very, very beautiful
00:14:50in the sky, here you can see several individual cirrus clouds and precisely
00:14:54stratocirrus clouds say
00:14:57that not always, but in
00:15:0012-24 hours, the weather will
00:15:03change. Often the wind
00:15:07strengthens, then
00:15:08precipitation comes.
00:15:16Cirrus, cirrostratus and cirrocumulus
00:15:20are the types of high clouds
00:15:22from...
00:15:24From high clouds, the most impressive to me are high cumulus
00:15:27clouds. When I see them in the city, I just grab my camera and rush
00:15:31to photograph them.
00:15:34Not only I, but also the birds like these clouds.
00:15:39"sheep in the sky sprinkled,
00:15:43these are high cumulus
00:15:44clouds.
00:15:48It's very beautiful when there are already such streaks across the entire
00:15:51sky rippling, generally they
00:15:54don't portend anything good, if they
00:15:58appear, there will likely be a thunderstorm,
00:16:01some not so very nice front
00:16:05will come." You need
00:16:07to prepare, hide all your clothes
00:16:11from the balcony,
00:16:15I don't see them very often, but when I do, it's
00:16:17a lot of fun to photograph
00:16:20them, it's just that now in the city center,
00:16:24if you blink for a moment, they will float and float away and
00:16:27disappear.
00:16:36Sometimes in high cumulus clouds, more often in
00:16:39stratocumulus clouds, you can see strange
00:16:42waves, as if you were looking at an inverted stormy
00:16:45sea. Since 2017, this cloud
00:16:49form has been called
00:16:50asperitas.
00:16:54While driving, I saw clouds, very, very, very beautifully
00:16:58waved, asperitas,
00:17:00undulatus, wavy clouds, they look
00:17:04like sea waves below, and also those shadows. Darker,
00:17:08lighter, one of the most dramatic
00:17:11clouds, they look
00:17:14very beautiful.
00:17:20The only problem is that they appear and disappear very quickly, they just wave
00:17:24in one place and you see those waves disappear, and
00:17:26then they are gone.
00:17:30Dramatic clouds,
00:17:33when it simply seems that the sky
00:17:36pushes all... the clouds into one pile, such
00:17:40waves appear, and they are lighter, darker and form
00:17:43a very beautiful visual, and when you look at those clouds after photographing them,
00:17:47they look like gigantic waves and they really change, wave,
00:17:51but they wave in the lower layer, and they were only
00:17:54very recently included in the cloud catalog, you could say
00:17:58our newest clouds,
00:18:00more precisely, clouds have always existed, they only got their name
00:18:03recently.
00:18:11It's time to get acquainted with another strange cloud
00:18:14formation, officially they are called mamma, most often
00:18:18you will hear mammatus, and no, they are not
00:18:21related to mothers or mammoths in any
00:18:23way.
00:18:27One of my favorites, which I chased the most on this expedition, and it was the hardest
00:18:31for me to catch them,
00:18:33are mammatus or udder clouds, they form
00:18:37under specific conditions, especially when a storm passes, there's a lot of
00:18:40lightning, there are such unstable conditions and then
00:18:43such udders emerge from the cloud, that's what udder clouds are
00:18:47called, and these udders hang there and those
00:18:50spheres hang very beautifully, especially when they are illuminated, well
00:18:54the view is
00:18:54unreal.
00:18:58They form when cooler , saturated air begins
00:19:02to descend from the cloud, as soon as I saw the angry, fast-moving
00:19:06clouds, I decided to follow them and
00:19:09see if I could notice anything interesting.
00:19:25I drove through about five storms, and on the edge of one,
00:19:28what beautiful mammatus clouds,
00:19:32wow, I saw from afar that
00:19:36on the edge, waves appeared, I drove around from the other
00:19:39side and here you go, very
00:19:42beautiful.
00:19:52I chased them several times, once there was a very early spring storm,
00:19:56I saw mammatus hanging on the side, I ran after
00:19:59them, tried to catch them, then I looked from the other side, there
00:20:03was almost a whole sky covered with mammatus somewhere in the
00:20:07city. I drove again, saw that the storm was ending,
00:20:10and then such gigantic mammatus hung down.
00:20:31Oh,
00:20:35are there any flying saucers observed on
00:20:38Earth? I mean from the kitchen, but
00:20:42for other civilizations, there's no solid evidence
00:20:45yet, however, there really are UFO
00:20:49clouds, and I saw quite a few of them
00:20:51on this expedition. Very
00:20:55beautiful, lenticular cloudlet, looks like
00:20:59a flying saucer, they form very interestingly
00:21:03and behave interestingly, most often they stand in one place
00:21:07and simply appear and disappear, so I'm very curious to see how it
00:21:10will behave in this case, and sometimes they are in the sky, especially
00:21:14in spring, because when there is a very strong wind, such
00:21:17flying saucers form. And sometimes
00:21:20in the evening, when they are illuminated by light, people really
00:21:23see, well, a flying saucer-shaped
00:21:27cloud. I guess all those flying saucers
00:21:29originated from these
00:21:33clouds, people looked at the clouds and thought,
00:21:36aliens. Very often clouds look like
00:21:40lenticular clouds, but they can be cumulus clouds stretched by
00:21:43the wind.
00:21:46Lenticular clouds form when air flows through the atmosphere.
00:21:50The wave rises at the top, cools down and becomes
00:21:53visible, while at the bottom it warms up, turns into vapor and becomes invisible.
00:21:57Coastal residents can see most of them, because
00:22:01the wind is stronger on the coast, and then more of them form there.
00:22:04And they also most often form over mountains, meaning
00:22:08on the mountain, above the mountain, and most often that cloud just
00:22:11stands still, the air flow moves, the wind blows, that
00:22:15cloud stands still, it looks very, very interesting.
00:22:18atrodo.
00:22:20It seems that this one is also standing still and not
00:22:22moving.
00:22:31Lenticular clouds can form very high up and quite
00:22:34low down. Sometimes with us, there is also a beautiful
00:22:38cloudlet on top of cumulus
00:22:41clouds, in the shape of a lentil,
00:22:45in the shape of a flying saucer, and it hasn't changed its shape for a while,
00:22:49it's still there. A flying saucer, now it looks like
00:22:52a three-layered flying saucer, wow,
00:22:55good, it's not actually standing still, that is, it seems to be
00:22:59standing still, but it's just constantly forming, the cloud is forming,
00:23:02forming, forming, it seems to be standing
00:23:05still, but how beautiful it looks now with three
00:23:09stripes, they really are sometimes multi-layered flying
00:23:13saucers,
00:23:16well, they look fantastic.
00:23:25And once, while chasing clouds, Lady Luck smiled very, very
00:23:29broadly
00:23:30at me.
00:23:35I stopped to look at lenticular clouds, well, at least it seemed that they were
00:23:39lenticular clouds, it's hard to say, but I saw much
00:23:42more beautiful ones, interestingly named, that is, wave clouds or
00:23:46fluctus clouds, they are called or Kelvin-Helmholtz
00:23:50clouds, such waves, four of them,
00:23:53one, second, third, but it was very
00:23:56short, well, the clouds just smiled at me
00:23:59and
00:24:09draw, or I draw the sea, I draw such
00:24:12waves, like waves curved, and one row
00:24:15of waves, so here, pop, pop, pop, pop,
00:24:18pop, pop, pop, they are quite short-lived, appearing under certain
00:24:22conditions over some cloud layer, and
00:24:25it feels like the wind just takes and gives the cloud such a hairstyle,
00:24:29strange, such waves, I've only seen
00:24:33them in pictures, you rarely notice them, because they appear and disappear,
00:24:36you just have to be in that place at that moment, I was driving
00:24:40and I saw that the clouds were moving strangely, I thought something interesting
00:24:44would happen, I stopped, started photographing, I photograph in one direction, turn
00:24:47in the other direction, waves and... nada,
00:24:50it lasted for a short time, poof, after a few minutes and it's gone, so you just
00:24:54don't turn your head at the right moment and you
00:24:57lose the opportunity to see such a phenomenon,
00:25:01so this is the same as some rare
00:25:03animal, we see various deer
00:25:07mostly everywhere, but to see some
00:25:10lynx, I don't know, is already more difficult,
00:25:14so this cloud is like such a lynx or
00:25:17wolf in the world of clouds.
00:25:23It was a very, very fun expedition, I managed to see even more
00:25:27various clouds and their phenomena,
00:25:30for example, the holes left by planes in the clouds looked very impressive
00:25:34and the circular curtains hanging from them,
00:25:36which we call virga. I believe that
00:25:40you too, having taken a cloud atlas, will look up at
00:25:43the sky more and more often, looking for all sorts of their
00:25:47types, forms, species or subspecies.
00:25:50Especially since this can be beneficial for you, for example, upon seeing
00:25:54an anvil-shaped cloud, you will know that strong
00:25:57wind, hail or heavy
00:25:59rain is possible.
00:26:03Cirrostratus clouds usually portend an approaching
00:26:06warm atmospheric front.
00:26:09Cirrus clouds show that strong winds are blowing high up,
00:26:13and if these clouds increase, precipitation is approaching. And if the sky
00:26:16is covered by boundless nimbostratus clouds,
00:26:20you are in Lithuania.
